Source: quilt Section: devel Priority: optional Maintainer: Martin Quinson Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 3.0.0) Standards-Version: 3.5.8.0 Package: quilt Architecture: any Depends: patch, diffstat, bzip2, gettext Suggests: ccache Description: Scripts for working with series of patches The scripts allow to manage a series of patches by keeping track of the changes each patch makes. Patches can be applied, un-applied, refreshed, etc. . The scripts are heavily based on Andrew Morton's patch scripts found at http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/ . The key philosophical concept is that your primary output is patches. Not ".c" files, not ".h" files. But patches. So patches are the first-class object here.
