In xiphos I use dh small rules file with add-ons and the quilt *-7
added the dh --with quild addon. and hence I need them to build xiphos
in all suites but karmic.
I like dh a lot =) it's quicker than CDBS and the build output is much
shorter. But unfortunatly it is not yet drop-in CDBS replacement for
Qt/KDE packages (last time I've checked)
My whole xiphos/debian/rules is:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh --with quilt $@
# because check target is broken
override_dh_auto_test:
where "dh $target" executes the standard target sequence including
automagic detection of build system (python, autotools, perl, ant I
think maybe others were added) =)))) very nice.
--with quilt bit applies and removes patches when needed.
