Re: Quilt 3.0 format and .pc direcotry



Yes but then lintian will bork "patch-system-but-direct-changes-in-diff" because of .pc presence, and the .pc directory will be packed into the source package. Or should I delete .pc directory before running debuild ?

If you add the .pc directory to your .gitignore (or the equivalent for your chosen VCS) everything will just work.

Quilt only uses the .pc files to determine what has changed.  It will recreate it as necessary when you push patches, so
"quit refresh" will do the right thing.  Because it's entirely derived from other sources (original sources and patch
files) there is no need to keep the .pc directory under source control and certainly no need to distribute it.
