i used 'quilt import' and copied a bunch of patches from src/modifications to /src/patches.  then tried running 'quilt push -a'.  it ran through the first two patches fine, but the third one didn't patch because one of the hunks failed. I didn't force patch.

I don't know what this means. I didn't see any place on gitorious.org to upload a public key and I can't find anything about a public key in the git man pages. In case it's not obvious, I have zero experience with git. --[[User:Lordbah|Lordbah]] 10:55, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

adding quilt command references

for user friendly purposes, would someone consider adding the cmd's for using quilt and what they do. it took me a while to figure out how to use quilt, and then adding and removing patches from the series, since some patches weren't applying correctly at first.

also something to address is when you should consider overriding a file when there is a hunk conflict and when to refresh a quilt series. all this i figured out by reading other forums, but since this site is dedicated to trying to make the pre experience as user friendly as possible, it may be good to have that somewhere around here.

I don't know what this means. I didn't see any place on gitorious.org to upload a public key and I can't find anything about a public key in the git man pages. In case it's not obvious, I have zero experience with git. --Lordbah 10:55, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
