Hello.
I'm using debian-jenkins-glue (and jenkins) to build packages. d-j-g expects to have upstream code in branch 'upstream' and debian part in branch 'debian' or 'master'.
It works fine, but I always have problems with quilt. If I want to add patch, or refresh, or change - it always complicated.
quilt expecting 'debian/patches' to be in same tree as upstream code.
Now I do something really ugly: I copy upstream code from 'upstream' to /tmp/foo, than switch to 'debian', copy ./debian to /tmp/foo, go to /tmp/foo, plays with quilt, than copy ./debian/patches/* back to 'debian' branch of repository and than commit changes. And jenkins build package.
But that copy to/back stage is just annoying, error prone and ugly.
