patch (2.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=low The options -U --unified-reject-files and --global-reject-file have now been removed. -- Christoph Berg Sun, 06 Feb 2011 20:17:11 +0100 patch (2.6-1) unstable; urgency=low The patch versions shipped in Debian Etch and Lenny (2.5.9-4 and 2.5.9-5) contained two patches that would create reject files in unified format, and collect all rejects in a single, "global" reject file. These patches are now part of patch 2.6. However, the arguments have been renamed: * -U or --unified-reject-files is now --reject-format=format. Additionally, reject files will automatically be in unified format if the input patch is in that format. * --global-reject-file=file is now a synonym for --reject-file=file (-r) which has been fixed not to overwrite reject hunks from different files. The old syntax is still supported, but will be removed for the Debian release following Squeeze. -- Christoph Berg Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:01:54 +0100
