-This Debian package uses the tar files upstream releases
-and applies some patches on top. Those patches are already
-applied in the Debian source package, so if you unpackaged
-the Debian source package, you can just modify what you want
-and build and ignore everything less.
-
-If you want to package a new upstream release:
-----------------------------------------------
-
-Just decide which patches from debian/patches you want to
-apply and build the package.
-
-
-If you want to build a package from git:
-----------------------------------------
-
-If you want to build from git, you might also want to apply
-some of the patches. Additionally you either need to increase the
-build dependencies (or ignore that your package has not enough)
-or generate an .orig.tar file with all the needed files processes.
-(This usually happens by calling make dist).
-
-To get packages from the current git you for example an do:
-
-sudo apt-get install git-core devscripts autoconf automake texinfo # ...
-sudo apt-get build-dep ratpoison
-git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/ratpoison.git
-cd ratpoison
-autoreconf -i
-rm -r autom4te.cache
-./configure
-make dist
-mv ratpoison-1.4.6-GIT.tar.gz ../ratpoison_1.4.6~git$(date +%Y%m%d).orig.tar.gz
-dch -v "1.4.6~git$(date +%Y%m%d)-0" "local git package"
