I would +like to do the most intrusive changes before syncing up with the +Savannah CVS. Of course, contributions are very welcome. It wouldn't +hurt to know if you want to work on some of the issues in advance to +avoid duplicate work, though :) -Test Suite + -- Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> -Support compressed files in .pc/? -Use proper temporary files in parse-patch, so that parse-patch can be used -multiple times in pipes! +General: -check if things like reading the patch file list should be done globally -in some scripts. + - Test if patches/ can be moved with environment variable as + planned. + + - Abstract backup operations to/from the .pc/ directory, so that + optionally something like rcs can be used instead of + lib/backup-files? + + - Add regression test suite; the scripts were broken often enough + already... + + - Add a ~/.quiltrc that contains default options for individual + commands, similar to ~/.cvsrc. Also requires some more + negative options so that the effects of ~/.quiltrc can be + reversed. + + - Add something similar to cvs diff, which scans all files for + changes that have not been folded back into their patches, + similar to: + `for p in $(quilt series); do quilt diff -z $p; done'? + + - Allow to add a directory? Then we could detect also new files + in the directory, without having to add them individually. + + - Add option for creating hard links. +Documentation: + + - How to rediff with pushpatch -f / poppatch -f? + + - How to import a new version of a patch? + + - How to import a complete directory, before doing + wild changes? (This will also cause new files to end up in the + patch.) + +parse-patch: + + - Handle SIGINT in parse-patch -u (in the part that moves the + temp file to the patch)? + +backup-files: + + - Extend so that it can also copy files instead of hard linking, + and when hard links are not possible. Also add option to + disallow hard links on the original file (for patchadd). + + - SIGINT handling? + +quilt import: + + - Add option to replace the currently applied patch with a new + one, by backing out the topmost patch first. + + - Diff -u the documentation of the old and new file, unless one + of them is empty. Let the user decide whether to keep the left + or the right documentation, or to merge them both.

If so, refuse to remove patch! (Note + that poppatch takes care of that currently.) + +apatch: + + - Allow to add a patch in the middle of the applied series, and + inject the patch in its proper position in applied-patches. + Needs to check if any of the files in the patch are touched by + later patches. + +touched_by_patch: + + - Implement more of patch's filename heuristic? -Clean up temp file handling |
