Why do we use that $() thing? The very first lines of the file you pointed to are: QUILT_STAMPFN ?= debian/stamp-patched # QUILT_PATCH_DIR: where the patches live QUILT_PATCH_DIR ?= debian/patches patch: $(QUILT_STAMPFN) $(QUILT_STAMPFN): [..] Thus, adding "patch" is perfectly the same, it seems -- but I've had pointers by previous sponsors to use "$(QUILT_STAMPFN)" instead of "patch". Why? Kindly, David -- . ''`.
