I have been thinking of something similar, although with a slightly different approach. I sometimes need to verify that I have no unused files in my patches subdirectory. I do not want to have old files lying around if I no more need them. Also, for one of my projects, I am publishing this directory on a regular basis and want to make sure that I am not including out-of-date stuff. Rather than having quilt generate the archive (I am fine doing it myself), I just would like a way to detect, and optionally delete, any out-of-series patch file. This could be implemented as a separate command or as an extension of the "series" command, for example "quilt series -o" would print the out-of-series patch files, and "quilt series -ro" would delete them. This shouldn't be too hard to implement. One could run such a command before manually creating an archive from the patches directory, so that only patches being currently used are included. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
