This package uses a form of source build based on DBS. To setup the source, run "debian/rules setup". This will extract the pristine source in build-dir/ and apply patches from debian/patches/. A few caveats. Modifying the source in build-tree/, will not be preserved after the "clean" target is run. To create patches for the source, you can remember several steps. There are two targes for handling source. The "stampdir/unpack" target, will simply unpack the tarball(s) into build-tree/ and "patch" will apply all patches from debian/patches/. If you make any changes you can generate a new patch using the "make_patch" target. This will move your current sources under build-tree/, unpack the source+patches again, and then generate a diff between the two. Note, you should run the "clean" target in the build-tree/ source before doing this, to get a clean patch. This text is based on build instructions from cfengine, by Ben Collins, modified and updated by Tollef Fog Heen and copied from the source of the hello-dbs package as recommended by dbs(7).
