Using quilt with debhelper
--------------------------
If you use the dh command provided by debhelper 7, you can simply
call it with "dh --with quilt" and dh_quilt_patch/dh_quilt_unpatch
will be called at the right time.
Otherwise you can manually call dh_quilt_patch / dh_quilt_unpatch
at the right place, see their respective manpages for examples.
dh supports the --with parameter since debhelper (>= 7.0.8) and quilt
provides the required debhelper plugin since quilt (>= 0.46-7).
Using quilt with CDBS
---------------------
You can include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/patchsys-quilt.mk
in debian/rules and be done with it.
If you use DEB_SRCDIR you might want to set DEB_QUILT_TOPDIR to "."
so that quilt patches are applied in the current directory and
not in DEB_SRCDIR. This will ensure compatibility with the
"3.0 (quilt)" source format.
Using quilt in other packages
-----------------------------
You can include /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make in debian/rules and modify
your rules to depend on the targets provided by this Makefile (unpatch and
$(QUILT_STAMPFN)). Here's an example:
include /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make
clean: unpatch
...
build: $(QUILT_STAMPFN)
...
