Package: cdbs Version: 0.4.51 Severity: normal Since quilt uses the "patches" directory by default, patchsys-quilt.mk creates a symlink patches -> debian/patches/. This is the wrong way to do it IMO.
You should have a behaviour similar to the what quilt recommends: see the /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make file. It calls quilt that way: QUILT_PATCHES=$(QUILT_PATCH_DIR) quilt --quiltrc /dev/null push -a || test $$? = 2 It's better since: - the user configuration doesn't mess up with the behaviour of the build (which in itself warrants an important bug IMO) - it doesn't create a useless symlink (see how this symlink can create problems in some unexpected way when trying to convert a package to using a new source package format: http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2008/03/msg00195.html) Thanks for your work. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=POSIX (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cdbs depends on: ii debhelper 6.0.10 helper programs for debian/rules Versions of packages cdbs recommends: ii autotools-dev 20080123.1 Update infrastructure for config.{ -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
