Mentioned where? Do you mean the patch does not contain the permission information any longer in the diff header? Such as: ,--- diff --git i/file w/file old mode 100644 new mode 100755 `--- ? If so I'd assume you have refreshed the patch with quilt, which uses diff underneath which does not support generating git formatted diffs. > Either dpkg-source or quilt needs a fix, in one way or another. > Supporting setting permissions via a patch file is strongly > advised. git formatter patches, is something that actually accidentally slipped in when patch gained support for it, but the rest of our toolchain does not, so you should expect several rough edges around this. :/ Thanks, Guillem
