It doesn't perfectly integrate with rpmbuild/dist-git but it works well enough. There are two big nits I have... 1. If one patch fails to apply it stops there, so I have to go in and fix/refresh it, then back out, rm -rf the source directory, and re-quilt setup <spec>. 2. If you don't have any patches yet they are only generated in <src>/patches and not created in the dist-git directory. Thanks, Richard
