+Subject: My current quilt 0.21 :)
+Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 22:05:15 +0100
+
+Hi,
+
+I have copied my current version to http://www.suse.de/~agruen/quilt/.
+Should we use this version to reload the CVS? I think we are nearing
+the stable development phase, so now this seems to make some sense.
+
+There are surely many new bugs. Please help shake them out :)
+
+I also didn't merge several improvements. Would it be possible that
+people contribute patches for the things they want included? I really
+don't have so much time to work on features I don't need so much.
+
+Here's a list of changes (some probably forgotten):
+
+	- There now is a quilt wrapper script. All the individual
+	  commands are run from this script. This is a pain for frequently
+	  used commands like push and pop. (I am using shell aliases
+	  for some of them, which works well.)
+
+	- The scripts have been split into many separate commands that
+	  are intended to do only a few things each.
+
+		$ quilt
+		Usage: quilt command [-h] ...
+		Commands are:
+		        add      files   patches   refresh  setup
+		        applied  import  pop       remove   top
+		        delete   new     previous  rest
+		        diff     next    push      series
+
+	- .gz and .bz2 compressed patches are now suported.
+
+	- Quilt setup takes a series file, unpacks archive(s), and
+	  copies patches in.
+
+	- For those working with RPMs, quilt setup can process an RPM
+	  spec file and produces the series file from that (by running the
+	  %prep section).
+
+	- Quilt diff can diff a specified patch, diff the changes
+	  done relative to after a patch, and create combined diffs.
+
+	- Quilt series shows which patches are applied,
+	  which is the topmost, and which are unapplied:
+
+		$ quilt series -v
+		+ samba-2.2.4-smbadduser
+		+ samba-2.2.3-smbsh
+		+ samba-2.2.6-doc
+		+ samba-2.2.6-pdbedit
+		+ samba-2.2.7a-removeldap
+		= samba-2.2.5-linkvfs
+		  samba-2.2.7-nettime
+		  samba-2.2.7a-acl-mapping-fixes
+		  samba-2.2.7a-glibc
+
+	- Quilt files shows which files are new/removed by a patch (none
+	  are removed here):
+
+		$ quilt files -v
+		  fs/Config.in
+		  fs/Makefile
+		+ fs/posix_acl.c
+		+ include/linux/posix_acl.h
+
+	- Quilt import still sucks. Some ideas are found in the TODO.
+
+
+So long,
+Andreas.
