Yes, I agree. > There's only one thing I'd like to see fixed in CVS before we release > it: the spurious regeneration of quilt.1 at built time.

I'd like to see a bit more support for the Linux kernel canonical patch format. It's documented in linux/Documentation/SubmittingPatches (line 304 in 2.6.15-rc7). Basically this means (at least) keeping lines that contain only "---" as a separator line before any diffstat output or at the end of the "header". It could (optionally ?) additionally cause quilt to add From: and Signed-off-by: template lines to the header. A patch that keeps "---" lines in 'quilt refresh' is here: http://developer.osdl.org/chrisw/quilt/quilt-refresh-linux-kernel-style.patch I don't know who wrote it. I'm willing to work on the addition if it sounds OK. -- ~Randy _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
