Stable (Etch) : 1:1.0.6-10
Testing (Lenny) : 1:1.0.6-11
Unstable (Sid) : 1:1.0.6.9-4
On my system, I am using Debian Etch, texmacs 1.0.6.9-2. Couple of days back, texmacs released 1.0.6.10. As a maintainer of this package, I want to build the 1.0.6.10 package which can eventually be uploaded to Debian Sid. This document provides a recipe of commands to achieve this goal.
Here I assumed that you are using pdebuild for the first time. If you have used it before, skip the appropriate steps.
$cp /usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/pbuilder-distribution.sh ~/bin/pbuilder-sid
$mkdir -p ~/pbuilder/result
$sudo aptitude install cdebootstrap
$pbuilder-sid create # if second time, use 'pbuilder-sid update'
$cat ~/bin/pdebuild-distribution.sh
#!/bin/sh
DISTRIBUTION=`basename $0 | cut -f2 -d '-'`
BASE_DIR="$HOME/pbuilder"
pdebuild --buildsourceroot fakeroot \
--buildresult $BASE_DIR/result \
--auto-debsign \
-- --basetgz $BASE_DIR/$DISTRIBUTION-base.tgz \
--distribution $DISTRIBUTION $@
$cp ~/bin/pdebuild-distribution.sh ~/bin/pdebuild-sid
$chmod +x ~/bin/pdebuild-sid
$cd ~/practice/
