In the previous exercise we changed the packaging around an existing release.
In this exercise, upstream has released a new version, and we are going to package it.
And we 'll use debuild, which is a wrapper around dpkg-buildpackage, and more sophisticated.
Procedure 2.3. Packaging a new upstream release with debuild
Fetching the new release
cd ~/packaging/hello
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.4.tar.gz
Copying the old control files to the new source
Now enter the old source directory, and run uupdate:
cd hello-2.2
uupdate -u hello-2.4.tar.gz
New Release will be 2.4-1.
Symlinking to pristine source from hello_2.4.orig.tar.gz...
-- Untarring the new sourcecode archive hello-2.4.tar.gz
Success! The diffs from version 2.2-2 worked fine.
Remember: Your current directory is the OLD sourcearchive!
Do a "cd ../hello-2.4" to see the new package
cd ../hello-2.4
Packaging the new version
debuild -rfakeroot -k'j.bokma@rug.nl'
