dpatch.make

DPATCH.MAKE(7)							      dpatch							    DPATCH.MAKE(7)

NAME

       dpatch.make - simplistic wrapper around dpatch(1) for make(1).

SYNOPSIS

       include /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch.make

DESCRIPTION

       For  backwards  compatibility  and ease of use, dpatch.make is provided along with dpatch(1). Its purpose is to implement generic patch and
       unpatch rules that can be reused in debian/rules scripts.

WARNING

       dpatch is deprecated, please switch to the `3.0 (quilt)' Debian source package  format  instead.  See  http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/Deb-
       Src3.0#FAQ for a short guide on how to do it.

USAGE

       Using dpatch.make is rather straightforward: one has to include the file in debian/rules, change the appropriate targets to depend on patch
       and unpatch, and that is all it takes.

       Figuring out what the appropriate target is, requires some thought. Generally, one has a build target, or config.status, or  configure  (or
       any  of these with a -stamp suffix). Most of the time these are called first during the build, so one of these (the one that exists, and is
       not depended upon by another one) has to be modified to depend on the patch target in dpatch.make.

       Doing the same for the clean target is easier. One only has to rename the old rule to, say, clean-patched, then make a  new  one  that  has
       clean-patched and unpatch in its list of prerequisites.

CUSTOMISATION

       There  are  a few variables which are used by dpatch.make, which can be set before including it, in order to change the systems behaviour a
       little.

       These variables are:

	      DEB_SOURCE_PACKAGE
		     This is the name of the source package, used when creating the stamp file. By default, it is empty.
	      DPATCH_STAMPDIR
		     This is the directory where stamp files will be put. Default is debian/patched.
	      DPATCH_STAMPFN
		     The name of the stamp file, which contains the patch descriptions and other possible meta-data. Default value is patch-stamp.
	      DPATCH_PREDEPS
		     A list of make targets to call before applying the dpatch.
	      DPATCH_WORKDIR
		     The target directory to apply patches to. By default, it is the current directory.
	      PATCHLIST
		     The list of patches to apply. This is an alternative to debian/patches/00list - that is, if this variable is not  empty,  the
		     contents of 00list will be ignored, and this variable will be used instead.

EXAMPLE

	       include /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch.make

	       build: build-stamp
	       build-stamp: patch-stamp
		   ${MAKE}
		   touch build-stamp

	       clean: clean1 unpatch
	       clean1:
		   ${MAKE} clean
		   rm -rf debian/files debian/substvars debian/imaginary-package

	       .PHONY: patch unpatch ...
		   .
		   .
		   .

SIDE EFFECTS

       Using  dpatch.make  instead  of	calling  dpatch  directly  has	one  side effect: it will create a file called patch-stamp containing some
       meta-information extracted from the scriptlets.

       Depending on a phony patch target directly from build target may cause build target to be reevaluated even when there is no  change  to	be
       done. Instead, try making build-stamp depend on patch-stamp as specified in this example.
