--- name: "dh_installkpatches" section: "1" platform: "linux" package: "dh-kpatches" version: "0.99.36+nmu4" release: "Debian 9 (Stretch)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/dh_installkpatches" --- # dh\_installkpatches(1) install kernel patch into package build directories ## NAME dh\_installkpatches - install kernel patch into package build directories ## SYNOPSIS **dh\_installkpatches** \[ *debhelper options* \] ## DESCRIPTION **dh\_installkpatches** is a debhelper script that reads *debian/package.kpatches* or *debian/package.kpatches.something* files describing one or several revisions of a single kernel patch, and installs them into the package build directory with customized *apply* and *unpatch* scripts. It also sets the kpatch:Depends substitution variable, that you should use in your control file to ensure that generated material in your package get all their dependencies. The use of kpatch:Depends requires a build-dependency on version 0.99.3 or later of the **dh-kpatches** package. Using this variable is now required, since 0.99.16 (mostly because too many people forgot to set it). ## OPTIONS This program does not take any particular option in addition to the standard [**debhelper**(1)](/debhelper/1.md) ones. ## SEE ALSO [**debhelper**(1)](/debhelper/1.md), [**make-kpkg**(1)](/make-kpkg/1.md). */usr/share/doc/dh-kpatches/dh-kpatches.html* or */usr/share/doc/dh-kpatches/dh-kpatches.pdf.gz*. ## AUTHOR This tool and manual page were written by Yann Dirson \.
