[Quilt-dev] Using quilt on OS X 10.4.x

[Seth Falcon]

Hello,

I think that quilt might be just the thing for me to track patches
against a project that I do not have commit rights to that uses svn.

I'm running OS X 10.4 with a number of fink packages installed and
haven't yet been able to get quilt working.

Q1: Can anyone confirm that quilt will work on OS X 10.4

My first attempt gave me a quilt that complained about bad date format.
My date command was not gnu, but shouldn't the configure script have
told me this?

After installing coreutils to get a better date command, I get no
overt complaints, but when I pop a patch, I don't see any message
about "Restoring .." any of the changed files.  The result is that if
I create a patch, edit a file, refresh, and then pop, the modified
file remains modified.

The example1.test fails I think for this reason.

So... If I can provide more detailed info, please let me know.

Thanks much,

+ seth
