Package: quilt Version: 0.46-8 Severity: wishlist I think the series file adds functionality, but unless that functionality is actually used, it is mainly redundancy and thus a source of errors.
It would be cool if quilt would know what to do in the absence of a series file, and that might be to process debian/patches and apply patches in run-parts-order. Furthermore, arch-specific subdirectories could be used for architectures. I think that this would make the series file obsolete in most cases, but it could still be used if needed (e.g. arch-specific patches amidst arch-all patches). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-rc3-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages quilt depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.5-3 high-quality block-sorting file co ii diffstat 1.47-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii gettext 0.17-7 GNU Internationalization utilities ii patch 2.5.9-5 Apply a diff file to an original quilt recommends no packages.
