=== BUILD PACKAGES ===
You can build ubuntu packages with just 2 steps for Ubuntu series yakkety, wily, xenial and trusty.
Before run the script scripts/ubuntu-build.sh you must have:
- a valid gpg key associated with your email address
- an account on launchpad.net where upload packages with the configured public gpg key
- set the two environment variables
DEBFULLNAMEandDEBEMAILto your full name and your email used in your email address in the form "<DEBFULLNAME><<DEBEMAIL>>"
Use the flag -d to build a development package; if you want to build an official version manage the debian/changelog file by hand.
After that follow what the script tell you to upload packages.
=== UPDATE PATCHES (IF EXISTS) ===
To manage debian patches you must use the quilt package, check documentation about it.
