Hi,

did not find any helpful hint - and cannot remember somebody asked
already: Is there a specific reason why our do_patch ignores binary
files - or is there a way to allow binary files in patches?

Andreas

I don't have any specific knowledge about this limitation, and I see you've 
worked around it in the mean time; but maybe this is because quilt doesn't 
(didn't?) support patching binary files. You could try setting PATCHTOOL = 
"patch" instead.

Cheers,
Paul
