Whether timestamps are written to the patch files is controlled by the value of QUILT_NO_DIFF_TIMESTAMPS. Most probably, you don't have them simply because you asked quilt (through configuration) not to include them. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have never used patch's --set-time (-T) option together with quilt, and simply adding -T to QUILT_PATCH_OPTS in quiltrc will not work: when quilt changes files by pushing or popping patches, all modified files end up with the current timestamp instead of restoring the original timestamps. When working in a source tree, this allows "make" to rebuild the appropriate files. Properly supporting a "preserve timestamps" mode would need to change this behavior. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Even popping patches must set the timestamp of each affected file to "now", otherwise "make" will no longer work. If you need to preserve/control timestamps, then quilt is simply not the right tool for the job. You could edit /etc/quilt.quiltrc or create ~/.quiltrc with your own settings, and have timestamps in your patches, but I presume this will not make you happy either, as the timestamps will not be preserved across push/pop. So I think will close this bug with WORKSFORME. quilt works, it is just not suited for your work. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But anyway, I believe that you use quilt for something it was not designed for. What you see is not a bug. At best this is a feature request, which I have no time to deal with. If you care, go discuss this with upstream yourself. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
