I just updated my Debian distribution to find that quilt remove is no longer available. This is quite annoying. I see there is a quilt revert which is nice and useful, but it is by far no means a replacement for quilt remove.
I use quilt on top of git, where I use quilt with a "debug.patch". That is, I'll add a bunch of files to the patch and then add a bunch of debug statements. When I find a bug in a file, and I don't need the debug in that file, I simply do a quilt remove file.c and then make the real fix. I don't need to pop the debug patch off, and possible recompile the whole kernel again, because the debug patch has changes to something like sched.h. The mode of operation is usually: quilt add file.c <add debug prints> <find bug> quilt remove file.c <fix bug> git add file.c <continue looking for other bugs> Note, I sometimes do quilt add file.c if I want to add more debug statements to it. Without quilt remove, this breaks this work flow. Please, do not replace a valuable operation with something that is not equivalent. -- Steve PS. please Cc me on replies, for I'm not subscribed to this list. _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
