NAME

       dh_quilt_patch - apply patches listed in debian/patches/series

SYNOPSIS

       dh_quilt_patch [debhelper options]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_quilt_patch simply calls quilt push -a after having set the environment variable QUILT_PATCHES to
       debian/patches.  All patches listed in debian/patches/series are then applied in the current directory.
       The command does not fail if the patches have already been applied.

       You can use another directory instead of debian/patches by setting (and exporting) the environment
       variable QUILT_PATCH_DIR.

EXAMPLES

       dh_quilt_patch is usually called indirectly in a rules file via the dh command.

               %:
                       dh $@ --with quilt

       It can also be direcly called at the start of the build (or configure) rule.

               build:
                       dh_quilt_patch
                       ./configure
                       $(MAKE)

NOTES

       This tool is useless if you use the source package format 3.0 (quilt).  Consider switching to this source
       format if you haven't done it yet.
