Hello, do you know about the "quilt refresh --sort" option? It seems to be what you need exactly. From the documentation: | Sort files by their name instead of preserving the original order. Could you be please more specific about the issue you are experiencing? It seems to me that this is the functionality you are requesting, isn't it? If you want to see how it works, it's in /usr/share/quilt/scripts/patchfns , in the definition of files_in_patch_ordered(). This is used by quilt/refresh instead of files_in_patch() when the --sort command is passed to refresh. I checked a bit more, and the documentation is a bit misleading here as the order of a find is used when --sort is not provided. So this is not the patch order at all. Thanks for the report, but I need some more information to fix the bug, please. Bye, Mt. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
