Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I use the same workflow, git-buildpackage + 3.0 (quilt) and I have no problems so far. > If someone is so kind and tell me how that should work: > > $ git-buildpackage -us -uc -S > ... ok new quilt 3.o source package has been built > $ git status > ...peng, all patches applied, but I don't WANT them applied!!! Are you using --git-export-dir? It seems not, and that you build the package in-place. I use this snippet in my gbp.conf: [git-buildpackage] export-dir = ../build-area/ which never runs anything in my git dir, so it's always pristine. > $ quilt pop -a > ... blabla cannot find bla bla... > $ git status > ...still a pain Maybe git reset --hard + removal of the .pc directory. > Ok, it might be that some people enjoy working permanently in that format, > but then, how to create a new patch? quilt new does not work: > $ quilt new > ... bummer, there is now ./patches in my git repository My .quiltrc includes this: QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches So it uses the right directory. > I don't know what big advantages there really are, I have seen the > announcements again and again and haven't seen any compelling reason in > it.

Again, sorry to hear this experience - in my case, after reading the wiki page, it was a painless experience. And the new format seems cleaner - no longer quilt-specific stuff in debian/rules, and a nice debian.tar.gz instead of a diff. regards, iustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
