quilt usage



For those who have not worked with quilt (I haven't) a quick info how to
work:

cd trunk
export QUILT_PATCHES=./debian/patches
You want to change a file `texk/web2c/man/Makefile.in' and it is either
already changed in debian/patches/patch-deb or you want to change it in
debian/patches/patch-deb

quilt push patch-deb
# if it is a new file, i.e. not already changed in patch-deb, call 
# quilt add texk/web2c/man/Makefile.in
edit texk/web2c/man/Makefile.in
quilt refresh
quilt pop -a

svn status should show you that only debian/patches/patch-deb is changed

Hope this helps someone, I didn't know it. Maybe we should add a bit
enhanced version to README-patches, it refers to rules/debian
edit-patch-* which does not work

Best wishes

Norbert
