Hello, I just received this in the Debian BTS. Which of the two proposed solutions should we take? Please keep the bug in CC while answering.
Thanks for your time, Mt. ----- Forwarded message from Marc Singer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Subject: Bug#295913: quilt: Quilt doesn't properly follow symlinked source files X-Debian-PR-Package: quilt From: Marc Singer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Mailer: reportbug 3.2 Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2005 16:26:43 -0800 Package: quilt Version: 0.37-4 Severity: normal Using quilt add or quilt edit on a symlinked file confuses quilt. As it doesn't recognize that the named file is a symlink to a source file, quilt fails to track changes to that source file. This is probably easily solved by either disallowing add/edit to a symlinked file, or more robustly, following the symlink and adding the path of the real file instead. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages quilt depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.2-1 A high-quality block-sorting file ii diffstat 1.35-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii gawk 1:3.1.4-2 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr ii gettext 0.14.1-6 GNU Internationalization utilities ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii patch 2.5.9-2 Apply a diff file to an original -- no debconf information ----- End forwarded message -----
