Package: quilt
Version: 0.44-6.1
Severity: minor
EXAMPLE:
$ export QUILT_PATCHES="debian/quilt"
.. time passes
$ quilt series -v
<nothing>
It took fairly long time to figure out why quilt was not working at
all. The previous project's QUILT_PATCHES pointed to wrong location.
SUGGESTION
Please add a warning that series file does not exist to stdree to
catch this mistake. The function in question is in
/usr/share/quilt/scripts/patchfns::cat_series
My proposed changed function is below. (!) used for new lines.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
cat_series()
{
if [ -e $SERIES ]
then
sed -e '/^$/d' -e '/^#/d' -e 's/^[ '$'\t'']*//' \
-e 's/[ '$'\t''].*//' $SERIES
else
! if [ "$opt_verbose" ]; then
! echo "series file not found: $SERIES" >&2
! fi
return 1
fi
}
