In fact there's already a bug opened for this: http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?19477 Its summary line is simply more restrictive than the facts: virtually all quilt functions fail when used on files with a space in their name. Unfortunately it isn't trivial to fix: you have to go through _all_ quilt code and check that every parameter is properly quoted. That could be done, but that's really a lot of work. So far, I have opted for a different strategy: I am simply not using spaces in my patch names. They are a pain in many cases, regardless of quilt's breakage, anyway. -- Jean Delvare Suse L3 _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
