So for those of us with minimal exposure to Quilt ... can that "series" file have URLs in it, so that it's practical for the "push" to fetch all the components as if with "wget"? Perhaps even to say "fetch the patches in <that> series", with <that> specified by URL? It makes a lot of sense to insist that the patches all be fetched locally before they're applied. (And yes, that does touch on "did I fetch the right patch", and possible desires for hashing and signing to make sure the right patch is used.) But if quilt could handle most of that fetching, some things would be simpler. That might imply changes to Quilt. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
