Record-keeping == wrapping the changes into packages and using "special" build numbers for those packages. E.g. my own packages are:
Code:
root@riposo:~/works# ls /var/log/packages/*-[0-9]*C
/var/log/packages/bins-1.17-noarch-140C
/var/log/packages/checkinstall-1.6.2b-x86_64-140C
/var/log/packages/hexedit-0.9.7-x86_64-140C
/var/log/packages/libxcb-util-1.9-x3264-140C
/var/log/packages/mozplugger-2.1.2-x86_64-140C
/var/log/packages/tigervnc-1.3.0-x86_64-140C
root@riposo:~/works#
of which only libxcb-util is such an old libraries package -- the other ones are contributions.
I would say that this is easily manageable.
Let us end this discussion here, shall we?
Kind regards, Dick
