Hello,
I was just checking your changes to rpatch.in. You check for corruption
in the series file and backup directory. I have the following changes in
mind, which would make those additional checks obsolete:
- The .pc/applied-patches directory ought to contain the real
patch names, so that looking into the series file becomes
unnecessary.
- I would very much like to get rid of the .pc/*/.pc files (the lists
of files that a patch contains), and look into the backup
directories instead. This would speed up things.
In addition, the .pc/patches-per-file database is complicated, and this
cache is not always updated correctly. The cache helps with very many
patches, but it is pretty useless for small/medium-size projects. I
think the cache is too hard to get right to justify the effort of fixing
it. So I would like to get rid of it.
Cheers,
