[Quilt-dev] quilt skip patch possible?

[Dirk Behme]

Hi,

is it possible to temporarily disable a patch in the middle
of a patch series?

What I think of is anything like

quilt disable <patch>

This disables a patch in the series (marks it with '#' in
series file) and unapplies the patch (if possible). If the
patch is independent from previous and later patches it will
be unapllied.

quilt disable

(without patchname) will show all temporarily disabled patches.

quilt enable <patch>

will reapply it again and remove the '#' in series file.

quilt enable

(without patchname) will show all enabled patches.

Use case I think about is having a bunch of independent
patches, e.g. warning fixes in various files, each file with
it's own patch. Now, you don't remember any more the exact
warning a patch anywhere in the series file fixes. So, would
be nice, to unapply the patch temporarily and see what's the
compiler tells you then. If patch to be removed temporarily
is independent of other patches, this should be a possible
scenario, right?

If anything like this is not available yet, would be nice to
have it ;)

Best regards

Dirk
