Patches are not delivered to VMs in parallel mode

[Anton]

I've got a build configured for several VMs and tried to utilize parallel mode. However, as I found out, patches i've got configured for a specific OS do not get packed into <package>-<ver>.pbconf.tar.gz. It appears like \%patches (that supposed to be populated by pb_list_sfiles) gets reset by each fork.

Also, it looks wrong that pb_filter_file is caused BEFORE the pb_list_sfiles. I've used a quite obvious patch to make it work for me:

Thanks for your report. I found out myself ... today (!) that projects with patches were not working anymore with 0.10.1.

The current version rev [1186] should fix this better, even, if all my tests are not finished yet. Either you can update pb from SVN to have it locally, or tell me your distribution so that I can provide you with packages to test.

[Anton]

Thanks for the update, I will be happy to test. I am using Debian Lenny x86_64 for project-builder.

[Bruno Cornec]

Ok, I now have test packages for you at ​ftp://ftp.project-builder.org/test/debian/5.0

These packages allo wme to work in with patches now without issue anymore.

[Anton]

Yep, seem to work fine now, thanks.

Thanks for your report.
