Hi! Simon Tournier skribis: >>From my point of view (and what I tried stopping in the middle :-)) is > to report if the transformation makes sense or not. For instance, You stated that multiple times and there’s general consensus that reporting the issue would be great. However, as I explained before, there’s no clear way to do that for two reasons: 1. Transformations apply to bags, not packages, so we cannot tell whether a transformation has an effect until after the transformed package has been lowered. Even then, it’s tricky. 2. In this case, this has to do with the semantics of transformations themselves: by definition, ‘with-source’ dismisses patches.

My point is that there are folks who have been using package transformation options for years; any claim has to be evaluated in that light, and any change would have to be considered very carefully. Thanks, Ludo’.
