Before I have made official Debian packages I have collected many experience with format 1.0 and I find it easy. Since some weeks I make some official Debian packages and since my beginning of maintaining I use the new format 3.0 (quilt). I still use CDBS and I use "simple-patches" - but now without CDBS support. My minor change is the file "patches/series" which let dpkg-buildpackages know that there are patches. This seems very simple, too. To get the old manner, I must only delete the series file and add the CDBS line into debian/rules. But remaining in format 3.0. > > $ quilt pop -a > > ... blabla cannot find bla bla... > > $ git status > > ...still a pain Because I never used quilt, the syntax for quilt is a little bit stupid for me. So also with the new format I don't use quilt. The only missing item for me is: there are no simple command to unapply the patches with dpkg-buildpackages (or debuild). For example: debuild unapply > My .quiltrc includes this: > > QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches > > So it uses the right directory. I have found this info at the beginning inside the first dpkg package with format 3.0 support. Final: I can work with the new format - but not with quilt! Fondest regards, Joachim Wiedorn
