Again, your version number may vary. + +Example: +$ mv open-vpp open-vpp-0.0.0 + +3) Ensure that the dpkg-buildpackage program is installed. + +E.g., + +# apt-get install dpkg-dev + +4) From the PARENT directory of the debian/ directory, run: + +$ cd open-vpp-0.0.0 +$ dpkg-buildpackage -I .git -us -uc + +(The -us and -uc flags omit GPG signatures from the .dsc and .changes files, +respectively. You can add them later, or if you are preparing a signed release +and have the signing key on hand, leave off the flags.) + +5) Get rid of the source directory; you now either have a source package with +which you can re-create it at any time, or there were problems with the build, +and you should go back to your git checkout to fix them. + +$ rm -r open-vpp-0.0.0 + +END + +vim:set ai et sw=4 ts=4 tw=80: -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
