It doesn't look like the meta-information tags to use in the input series file are documented anywhere, so I suspect this feature isn't widely used. Anyway, at the moment I do not plan to remove the support for series file as an input. I am only considering generating a new series file instead of symlinking to the input one. I'm just worried that some users might rely on it being a link, meaning that operating on the working tree automatically updates the original series file. I'll think about it. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
