Introduction

For all these steps you need the git-buildpackage package installed.

Create a new KERN package

1. create a new repository here with the same name as the package:

https://github.com/kernsuite-debian

2. Create a new git repository on your build system with the same name as your package and run git init in it

3. Download the released tarball for a package. make sure it is named -version.tar.bz2 or gz or xz

4. inside the new git repo run gbp import-orig

5. create the debian folder with content. Copy this from an other repo and modify or use dh_make.

6. run gbp build-package and check if everything works. If not, fix.

7. if everything works fine add a tag gbp build-package --git-tag-only

Update existing package

1. git clone https://github.com/kernsuite-debian/<package> && cd <package>

2. If the package has a watch file you can run gbp import-orig --uscan

3. If no watch file, add a watch file. Otherwise download release tarball and run `gbp import-orig path/to/-.tar.gz

4. increment version number using dch -i

5. check if package builds with gbp build-package

6. if everything works fine add a tag gbp build-package --git-tag-only

Uploading changes to github and launchpad

7. If everything looks awesome run gbp build-package --git-tag to tag this version.

8. run git push --all && git push --tags to upload all your changes

9. run debuild -S -sa for building a source package in the parent

10. run dput ppa:kernsuite/kern-dev ../<package__source.changes to upload package to the kernsuite dev repo.
