**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 15 02:59:57 2007 Sep 15 22:55:13 hi NAiL, happy saturday. nice day here. Sep 15 22:55:48 you don' t happen know know quilt, do you? i'm using for the first time and a bit confused... Sep 15 23:05:35 ah Sep 15 23:05:41 I know quilt, yes Sep 15 23:06:06 quilt is quite powerful, and I'm not entirely sure how I managed to do patches before I learned that ;) Sep 15 23:14:14 HopsNBarley: I know quilt Sep 15 23:14:40 hi rwhitby!! nice to hear from you. Sep 15 23:14:51 make sure you have a ./patches directory (or symlink) somewhere above the spot where you are patching - can be any number of levels upward Sep 15 23:15:06 then quilt new 'patch-name.patch' will create a new file in that patches dir, and a series file. Sep 15 23:15:28 then "quilt add file" will add a new file to be patched into that current patch Sep 15 23:15:31 i'm slogging through it. the real problem is that the freescale patch set has varying -p levels, so i'm attempting to adjust by quilt delete/quilt import -p0 to fix. Sep 15 23:15:39 make sure you add the file before you start changing it Sep 15 23:15:51 i'm doing a kernel... do i add the whole thing? Sep 15 23:15:53 then change the file, quilt refresh and you're done Sep 15 23:16:05 no, you only add files just before you change them Sep 15 23:16:17 and you only add the files you change to each of the individual patches Sep 15 23:16:22 quilt new for a new patch Sep 15 23:16:35 okay. can quilt help me not have to edit all these patches? it understands the varying -p levels... Sep 15 23:16:36 quilt push to apply patches, quilt pop to unapply them Sep 15 23:16:53 i've applied about 50 with push. Sep 15 23:17:08 you may be able to do something in the series file to say the p option to use - dunno. Sep 15 23:17:15 okay, thanks. Sep 15 23:17:17 hey, i' Sep 15 23:17:26 ...not typing well... Sep 15 23:17:41 i'm back from my consulting job, so i'll be around and contributing again. Sep 15 23:17:46 cool Sep 15 23:18:07 take a look at foonas - they are pushing that forward. Sep 15 23:18:11 it's a good feeling - i did get it working though - windows pure diskless boot with only an infiniband cable (-; Sep 15 23:18:24 I haven't tried foonas yet Sep 15 23:18:56 i will check that out. i just got a new iomega device with the marvell SOC. the disk includes patches, so i might to get that up soon. Sep 15 23:19:11 400MHz machine/gigE/Sata. Sep 15 23:19:29 whoops - here come some crying kids, back in a minute... Sep 15 23:19:36 I'm off to the zoo Sep 15 23:37:47 rwhitby, have a great time! we're off to the park. thanks for the quilt help. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Sep 16 02:59:56 2007
