Building this package for Debian
--------------------------------

This source package uses quilt to apply and remove its patches.  Please
refer to /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source for information about how to
use quilt for source packages.


Developing this package for Debian
----------------------------------

The source of this package is developed using git and the helper tool
git-buildpackage, with all official releases tagged and signed and
binary diffs of tarballs stored using pristine-tar.  This is documented
below /usr/share/doc/git-buildpackage/manual-html/ .

Upstream development is tracked both in the Git branch "upstream-git"
and using upstream tarballs.

Setting DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 enables additional build routines helpful
during development of the package, but unfit for normal builds.  This
typically includes the CDBS feature of auto-updating debian/control with
CDBS-related build-dependencies, which is forbidden by Debian Policy as
build environment must not change during automated builds.


Maintaining packaging build routines
------------------------------------

This source package wraps debhelper commands and other tedious parts of
the build routines using the CDBS framework.  Please refer to the actual
makefile snippets included from debian/rules for details on their
purpose and ways to override defaults.  Additionally, makefile snippets
included from below /usr/share/cdbs may also be documented in
/usr/share/doc/cdbs/cdbs-doc.pdf.gz .
