README.source
1This package is maintained with git-buildpackage(1). It follows DEP-14
2for branch naming (e.g. using debian/sid for the current version
3in Debian unstable).
4
5It uses pristine-tar(1) to store enough information in git to generate
6bit identical tarballs when building the package without having
7downloaded an upstream tarball first.
8
9When working with patches it is recommended to use "gbp pq import" to
10import the patches, modify the source and then use "gbp pq export
11--commit" to commit the modifications.
12
13The changelog is generated using "gbp dch" so if you submit any
14changes don't bother to add changelog entries but rather provide
15a nice git commit message that can then end up in the changelog.
16
17It is recommended to build the package with pbuilder using:
18
19 gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder
20
21For information on how to set up a pbuilder environment see the
22git-pbuilder(1) manpage. In short:
23
24 DIST=sid git-pbuilder create
25 gbp clone <project-url>
26 cd <project>
27 gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder
