dh-kpatches 0.99.36+nmu1. Here is a generic description the behaviour of
such patches. For generic instructions on using those patches, see
make-kpkg(8), its --added-patches option, and its PATCH_THE_KERNEL
environment variable.
- its application will by default only be attempted if the declared
kernel version for the patch matches the current kernel's version
(unlike patches produced with early versions of this package, which
attempted to do things the best they can, possibly producing some
confusion).
- if this patch depends on other patches, those will be applied in an
unspecified order, and will be removed after this one will have been
removed. It is not necessary any more to ask for explicit application
of these dependencies, but it is not an error to do so.
- for each patch you can set the KPATCH_<patchid> environment variable
to a specific kernel version, if you want to apply a patch that is not
declared to work on the current kernel. This can be useful if you
want to test a patch on a brand new kernel release that was not
published at the time of patch packaging. If the requested version is
not found, this patch application will fail. If the patchid you're
refering to contains characters invalid for an environment variable
name (currently only '-'), you should replace them with underscores.
