[Nix-dev] topic branches & duplicated efforts

[Yury G. Kudryashov]

Hi!

I propose the following workflow to avoid duplicating efforts (e.g., package 
updates) in branches:

When you update a package in a branch:
* add a note like "there is a newer version available in 
branches/mybranchname" to default.nix in trunk (or all-packages+default but 
not only all-packages).
* merge this to your topic branch removing this comment.

What do you think about this? I used it for, e.g., libpng15 and drop-kde4.5.
