Subject: quilt: Quilt tries to write into series also if it is a directory
Package: quilt
User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu karmic ubuntu-patch
Version: 0.46-8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
If QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches is set and there is a directory called
"series" in the source tree quilt tries to write into this directory.
It would be better if it used debian/patches/series instead in this case.
In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:
* debian/patches/check_series_is_no_dir:
- Check that series is no directory. (LP: #428657)
We thought you might be interested in doing the same.
