In the man page it explains that: When patchname does not exist, cdbs-edit-patch will assume that a new patch should be created. As with the above scenario, cdbs-edit-patch will first create a temporary working source tree and apply all patches up to the new patch in lexicographic order. When the shell is quit, cdbs-edit-patch will create patchname.
So this is just a stupid mistake and long learning experience. ** Changed in: cdbs (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- cdbs-edit-patch with an uppercase name doesn't apply debian/patches https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
