Hi all, As I was giving a talk about quilt two weeks ago at the Suse Labs Conference, two users asked me if it would be possible to implement an auto-refresh feature to make it easier to refresh a whole patch set.
This is my attempt to grant this wish. I decided to implement it as a --refresh option to the pop and push commands. That way, the user can use "quilt push -a --refresh" or "quilt pop -a --refresh" in order to refresh the whole patch set. Refreshing a subset of the patch series is also possible that way. A different approach would have been to extend the functionality of the "refresh" command itself to support a range of patches instead of a single patch, however this seemed more difficult to implement as you can't always refresh patches: they must be applied first, and no other patch must shadow files modified by the patch being refreshed. So this would have required a major rewrite of the "refresh" command, which I'd rather avoid. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
