Hi Andreas,
What was the rationale for this commit?
commit 19ce60a19ac87230e05603e2ca31030d8b3143ad
Author: Andreas Gruenbacher
Date: Tue Mar 25 23:15:37 2008 +0000
- Assume patches are in unified format by default when applying
them. (For working with other patch formats, make sure to remove
"--unified" from QUILT_PATCH_OPTS in ~/.quiltrc or
/etc/quilt.quiltrc.)
GNU patch should detect the format of patch files automatically. Having
--unified passed unconditionally by default breaks the use of quilt
with other patch formats. I just received a bug report about it:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1088281
I am just discovering about that default setting in /etc/quilt.quiltrc,
I had no idea it was there. In fact I'm surprised nobody complained
about it before. Most probably this is because ~/.quiltrc
overrides /etc/quilt.quiltrc completely and many quilt users have such
a file (including myself.)
Can we please remove this setting and just let GNU patch detect patch
formats?
Thanks,
