Drupal core patches
===================

[](#drupal-core-patches)

> **Why this package:** `vardot/drupal-core-patches` is required by [`vardot/varbase-patches`](https://github.com/Vardot/varbase-patches) so that [Varbase](https://www.drupal.org/project/varbase) can upgrade to the latest Drupal core versions. It maintains the right set of working Drupal **core** patches **per Drupal core version** (one branch per major.minor), so each Varbase line automatically gets the patches that apply to its Drupal core.

Curated **Drupal core** patches used by [Varbase](https://www.drupal.org/project/varbase), delivered as a Composer **metapackage** with **one git branch per Drupal core MAJOR.MINOR**version (e.g. `11.3.x`, `10.6.x`). Consumed by [`vardot/varbase-patches`](https://github.com/Vardot/varbase-patches) so that core patches are versioned and resolved independently of the Varbase line.

- Patches are declared under `extra.patches."drupal/core"` and applied by [`cweagans/composer-patches`](https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches) via the Varbase Patches plugin (which allowlists this package).
- Each core-minor branch carries **only** the patches valid for that exact Drupal core minor and uses `conflict: { "drupal/core": "=next.0" }` to bind itself to that minor, so Composer always selects the release matching the installed core.
- The actual `.patch` files live on the **`patches`** branch and are referenced by raw URL (the same model `varbase-patches` uses for its patch files).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
composer require vardot/drupal-core-patches:~11.3.0
```

`varbase-patches` does this for you. To allow Composer to pick the release matching the site's core, it requires a range that spans the supported majors:
