Wait a sec. There is no bug in this session! The file order in the patch is exactly the one I described in my previous mail: "in the order of patch file for the files already in the patch, and afterward alphabetically for the new files"
The patch file order is preserved over the alphabetic one. There is no reason to change that order. Some people may want to keep the files in the order they like and I don't see no reason to force them otherwise. If you want a predictible order of files to reduce the vcs noise, there is nothing to do, IT ALREADY WORKS. If you really want the files to be sorted alphabetically, please add QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="--sort" to your ~/.quiltrc. But I don't see no reason to force it on all users. Could you enlight me? What exactly are you expecting from me? Could you please take the time to do a real mail to explain your problem so that I can help you? Since the bug report, I digged in dpkg commit log and I explained the quilt source code to try to help you being more specific about your problem. I'm getting slowly bored, I must confess. I'm thankful for that session, but since you do not specify what would be the expected behavior and since the actual behavior matches what I explain since 2 mails, I don't get your point. Please help me helping you. Mt. On Mon, Dec 30, 2013 at 07:38:40PM +0000, Thorsten Glaser wrote: > Martin Quinson dixit: > > >And I claim that quilt is not doing this.
