DH_QUILT_PATCH(1)						     Debhelper							 DH_QUILT_PATCH(1)

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.

SEE ALSO
       debhelper(7), dh(1).

       This program is meant to be used together with debhelper.
