Greetings, We are trying to use quilt on systems which use AFS (Andrew file system) for home directories. AFS is the chosen file system for our organization and thus we cannot change it. The problem is that quilt uses hard links for some operations which fail on AFS when done across directories. Does anyone know if we can modify quilt so that this is no longer a requirement to use hard links or explain why hard links are required?
An example quilt session that demonstrates the failure: $ quilt series patches/foo.patch patches/bar.patch $ quilt app patches/foo.patch $ quilt files bar $ quilt push Applying patch patches/bar.patch patching file bar Now at patch patches/bar.patch $ quilt pop Removing patch patches/bar.patch Restoring bar Now at patch patches/foo.patch $ quilt pop cp: cannot create link `quilt.C17897/bar': Invalid cross-device link cp: cannot create link `quilt.C17897/.timestamp': Invalid cross-device link Failed to copy files to temporary directory Regards and many thanks! _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
