I want to create a patch using quilt
in which there is a directory rename. But quilt add
seems to support just files.
If I should use quilt add <old_dir>/*
then how can I add the renamed directory to my quilt patch? Invoking quilt add <new_dir>
before creating it, gives me an error like this (here the <new_dir>
name is _include
, the <old_dir>
name is include
and the patch name is 0001-fix-cross-compile.patch
:
$ quilt add _include/
/usr/share/quilt/scripts/backup-files: line 104: .pc/0001-fix-cross-compile.patch/_include/: Is a directory
Failed to back up file _include/
If I use the command without trailing /
:
$ quilt add _include
File _include added to patch 0001-fix-cross-compile.patch
Which is not what I mean.
If I first create the directory:
$ mkdir _include
$ quilt add _include
cp: omitting directory '_include'
Failed to back up file _include
How can I add the new directory to my patch? Thank you.
