Can I expect ‘quilt > refresh -p1’ to work if the patches were not created with Quilt?
More specifically, I'm not the one using Quilt *at all*. The patches are created from my VCS, stored in the ‘debian/patches/’ directory separate from the upstream source, so there isn't anything for them to be applied to until the package gets built with ‘dpkg-source’. A brief expreiment with ‘quilt refresh’ shows that it needs me to have the working tree available, just in order to (from my point of view) fiddle with the ‘-pN’ level. So AFAICT it doesn't work for my use case. -- \ “Theology is the effort to explain the unknowable in terms of | `\ the not worth knowing.” —Henry L.
