Re: [Quilt-dev] Fw: patch script

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

Hi Holger,

we have been working heavily on Andrew's original scripts in the 
meantime. As of now we have a project web pahe and CVS at 
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt/. It's still mostly shell 
scripts, but packaged differently.

The documentation on quilt is pretty weak at the moment, but the most 
important features and some tiny additional bits are working quite 
well. See the quilt-dev mailing list for my posting concerning new 
features from yesterday.

Do you have a link to your code? Does it implement any new 
features/concepts?

I don't have anything against Perl, it might allow us to move forward 
faster. On the other hand I do like the modular structure we have now. 
In any case the scripts seem to work well enough for me at the moment.
