yes, it might be a good idea to release such a point update soon.
It would make everything easier for me to do that if a full patch file
could be provided that would apply cleanly to the extracted TDE sources
from the complete 3.5.13 tarball--this would avoid having to republish
the
3.5.13 tarballs, which would add several gigabytes of files to the
already

Yes, I mean what we refer to 3.5.13.1.
My goal was to prepare an update so that it could replace existing
packages
from 3.5.13 (not to occupy more space). So that users who install the
Trinity
according to the instructions given update automatically. I assumed then
you
can simply move the packages from my PPA to the official.
Yes, this is correct. I am waiting to do so until I get an official
sign-off that the new packages work better than the old ones (i.e. users
are reporting that the new packages do not crash, etc.).
In the source packages, patches have kept separately from the original
sources
(in debian/patches/bp*.diff). I was hoping they might be incorporated into
Git branch for 3.5.13. I understand that you wanted a big diff instead of
the
set of patches?
Honestly I'm not sure how to do this in anything resembling a sane manner
in GIT. I was considering distribution of the large patch file as an
update to the existing 3.5.13 sources, but comments and discussion are
definitely welcome on this subject!
