Hi, In order to workaround the msys bug [1] [2], Andreas suggested that msys users could set QUILT_PC to ".pc/" instead of ".pc". This works well except in fold, where mkdir (line 95) does the wrong thing when the dirname removes all consecutive slashes [3], resulting in a path like .pcpatch1.diff/dir instead of .pc/patch1.diff/dir. Backing that patch out fixes this problem, but I suspect more changes are required before dirname does the right thing.
As an aside, dirname isn't heavily used, or used in a performance critical loop (afaics) -- running the entire test suite invokes it 148 times. Is it worth keeping in patchfns ? If it exist for compatibility reasons, can I write a few tests and move it to compat/dirname.in? 1. http://lists.zerezo.com/mingw-msys/msg00525.html 2. http://zeroj.hda0.net/quilt/patches/msys-sh-wierd-bug.diff 3. http://cvs.sv.nongnu.org/viewcvs/quilt/quilt/scripts/Attic/patchfns.in?r1=1.9&r2=1.10 -- John _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
