[21:05] <rokclimb15> does anyone have a moment to answer a question about using quilt?
[21:05] <rokclimb15> I'm working on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/1512068
[21:25] <jtaylor> what is the question?
[21:26] <rokclimb15> when I unpack the initial source, the debian/patches/series file is empty
[21:26] <rokclimb15> I use quilt to add my new patch
[21:26] <rokclimb15> and that works
[21:26] <rokclimb15> but when I run dpkg-buildpackage it executes rules that overwrite series
[21:26] <rokclimb15> how can I pre-execute the appropriate debian/rules steps to get quilt series in sync before I add?
[21:27] <rokclimb15> the debian rule is called debian/patches/series
[21:28] <jtaylor> hm python is somewhat special in how it builds
[21:28] <rokclimb15> I suspected so
[21:28] <jtaylor> you should check with the maintainer doko
[21:28] <rokclimb15> I know MOTU doesn't maintain that, but was hoping someone would know
[21:28] <rokclimb15> thanks I'll do that
[21:29] <jtaylor> you may be able to find him in ubuntu-devel, but probably not now anymore
[21:29] <rokclimb15> I'll drop him an email if I still can't figure it out
[21:29] <rokclimb15> thanks for your help
