random thought on quilt
mods these are my online notes on quilt. I am "hiding" them here as an online note to myself but others may see what I have done, learnt etc and to assist others if possible
pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/howto/quilt.html#quilt_for_debian_maintainers 1) I elected to create a home .quiltrc as I have a non FHS backup data partition so contents are.......QUILT_PATCHES=/a/1/debian/patches Next because I had trouble with my eyesight using nano in the past fixing some lintian errors because some files need exact spaces etc I chose to default to a gui text editor...for me thats menu/applicationsdebian/apps/sys/Alternative Configurator --use gui to add leafpad ...another gremlin so try mousepad 2) link wants folder debian/patches and time to read Quilt Tutorial www.shakthimaan.com/downloads/glv/quilt-tutorial/quilt-doc.pdf BEST YET for examples of deb packaging raphaelhertzog.com/2012/08/08/how-to-use-quilt-to-manage-patches-in-debian-packages/ but I start with learning quilt with easier text diff tutorial suse.de/~agruen/quilt.pdf lets try that copy and paste the first bit of poem into a file at debian/ called Oberon.txt :: Code ::
quilt new flower.diff -->Patch flower.diff is now on top quilt edit Oberon.txt 2 things must happen IMHO (1) your preferred text editor must open and stay open at the already saved poem (2) Oberon.txt now appears....as a copy under debian/.pc/flower.diff Now in open editor add the other stuff ...you are editting the ORIGINAL file and not the file that now exists in .pc....save the amended file and close editor next :: Code ::
quilt refresh Refreshed patch flower.diff cat patches/flower.diff Index: debian/Oberon.txt =================================================================== --- debian.orig/Oberon.txt 2012-09-14 16:50:52.000000000 +0800 +++ debian/Oberon.txt 2012-09-14 16:58:02.000000000 +0800 @@ -2,3 +2,6 @@ It fell upon a little western flower, Before milk-white, now purple with love’s wound, And girls call it love-in-idleness. +The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid +Will make a man or woman madly dote +Upon the next live creature that it sees. so in theory I take an old version of a file...add it to quilt with the patch name etc - replace file contents with entirely new file in the edit mode then refresh gives me the diff. :: Code ::

Nope I have a gremlin after love....as one does heh heh grrr might have to use vim hmm will edit ....I use roxterm tried diff fonts, mousepad tried diff fonts now change locale to us from au and see if that makes any diff I can't diff if I have a gremlin vi shows :: Code ::
Yet mark’d I where the bolt of Cupid fell: It fell upon a little western flower, Before milk-white, now purple with love’s wound, And girls call it love-in-idleness. The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid^M Will make a man or woman madly dote^M Upon the next live creature that it sees. EDIT tried various new locales, terminal fonts, leafpad and mousepad fonts ahh well I can use normal diff eg..ignoring if I will use this or not :: Code ::
