I use the quilt utility to manage changes to the project’s source code and to maintain the version of the deb package into which it is built. I encountered a problem – some source code files were added to the project before me, as symbolic links to other files of the same project (in other directories).
At the moment I need to convert one of these symlinks into a regular file. BUT when I try to add these changes to the patch, quilt writes that Failed to add a symbolic link I’ve searched all over Google but haven’t found a solution to my problem, please help. Thank you in advance!
