gquilt

quilt project is a tool for managing a series of patches by keeping track of the changes each patch makes.

Patches can be applied, un-applied, refreshed, etc. gquilt is a PyGTK GUI wrapper for quilt.

Features:

• Currently, point and click interfaces are only provided for a small (frequently used) sub set of quilt's commands:
• an Open menu item in the Playground that allows the root directory for the quilt playground to be selected,
• tool bar buttons that execute common operations on the top applied patch, and
• pop up menus (triggered by the right mouse button) over the playground files tree, patch files tree and patch series list that execute common operations such as adding files to the top patch, etc.
• To compensate for the incomplete coverage of quilt's command set a text entry widget is provided in the tool bar where arbitrary quilt commands may be executed. All quilt commands initiated by the user (either by point and click or the provided entry widget) are echoed (with a time stamp) to the console widget at the bottom of the main window as is the resulting output from the quilt command. To enable easy distinction between stdout and stderr output the former is printed in black and the latter in red.

What is new in this release:

• New Features:
• A "finish to" option has been added to the patch list widget pop up menu
• diff display dialogs now detect and highlight any trailing white space
• ADDED by the patch and include a mechanism for navigating between
• instances of trailing white space
• Signed-off-by, Ack and Author buttons have been added to description
• edit dialog
• A "history" capability (similar to bash) has been added to the manual
• command entry
• A method to revert unrefreshed changes to files in the top patch has been
• added

What is new in version 0.21:

• should now run on Windows
• has a new "fold to" option in the patch list window shich enables patches up to the selected patch to be folded into the top patch. This complements the "duplicate" and "interdiff" functionality introduced in the last release.
• is no longer dependent on quilt and will run quite happily (but uselessly) without either quilt or hg/mq. However to do something useful it needs at least one of these tools to be available. The intention here is to remove the need for unwanted software to be installed and updated.
