Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.15.7.1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage
Hi,
I just run into the problem with the following command sequence:
dpkg-source -x foo.dsc
cd */
quilt pop
edit file
quilt refresh
dpkg-buildpackage -b
I simply forgot to quilt push -a again before building. Due to the
nature of the missing patch the package did build succesfully but is
completly useless.
Given that dpkg now consistently uses the .pc dir to track applied
patches it should be easy to detect if patches have been forgotten and
abort. There could be an option to build anyway and an option to apply
missing patches. Since aborting is the least harmfull, it doesn't
build broken debs and does not alter the working dir, I think that
should be the default behaviour.
MfG
Goswin
PS: Personally I want the option to apply missing patches before build.
