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. + |
