Package: quilt
Version: 0.46-6
Severity: normal
Hello,
thanks for maintaining quilt.
quilt's README.Debian, which is a logical boilerplate to use in packages
using quilt, suggests to add this to .quiltrc:
for where in ./ ../ ../../ ../../../ ../../../../ ../../../../../; do
if [ -e ${where}debian/rules -a -d ${where}debian/patches ]; then
export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
fi
done
This basically allows anyone who can write to a path above where I build
packages to influence my build system. That is because the topmost path
is in the end, and the last path found overrides the previous ones.
What you really want is this:
for where in ./ ../ ../../ ../../../ ../../../../ ../../../../../; do
if [ -e ${where}debian/rules -a -d ${where}debian/patches ]; then
export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
break
fi
done
Although that snippet, in my opinion, even when fixed is still very ugly
indeed.
Ciao,
Enrico
