Hi Jean, There are two patchsets I would like to reviewed for 0.43. The one you mentioned starts here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/quilt-dev/2005-09/msg00323.html patch 3/4 allows the tests to be run using the quilt in the local directory, which makes writing and running tests regularily a lot easier. The other patchset fixes a number of bugs in corner cases, each having a test case in patch 2/6 demonstrating the problem, with patches 2 & 4 correcting the test cases. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/quilt-dev/2005-09/msg00320.html patch 5 & 6 are enhancements, so disregard those for a quick release. patch 3/6 rewrites some of the command line parsing code, fixing a few bugs in the process. patch 3 makes a few decisions about when additional error message should be emitted. Currently quilt is quite quiet, so this patch makes it a bit noiser in order to demonstrate cases where I think it could be more helpful. If this patch is too much for 0.43, i'll work on a few smaller patches to address those bugs. -- John _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
