Package: quilt
Version: 0.45-6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
here is how I came across this problem: I downloaded a debian source
package with some patches in debian/patches, I set QUILT_PATCHES
accordingly, did "quilt snapshot" to prepare the snapshot, and then ran
"fakeroot debian/rules configure" to launch auto* stuff with appropriate
options. But when it came to "quilt push -a", the version check told me
to upgrade in the first place ("quilt upgrade") since my files where
created with an older version of quilt, which is not the case.
To my understanding, as "new" and "push", "snapshot" should include a
"create_db" call, so that the .pc directory is created with the
appropriate version file, which is missing otherwise. The attached patch
gave me satisfaction, but I'm not sure it does exactly what is needed.
Also attached, a tiny typo fix (s/ouput/output/) in the documentation,
which isn't worth another bugreport IMHO.
Cheers,
