The source of this package is managed by using a hgpkg managed
mercurial repository at https://fortytwo.ch/hg/pkg-zeromq. (hgpkg is
currently included in the debian/ directoriy here and not separately packaged,
since it's not widely used yet.)
Typically, you'd start by:
$ wget TODO get upstream tarball
$ hg clone https://fortytwo.ch/hg/pkg-zeromq zeromq
$ debian/hgpkg build
Description: the repository contains an "upstream" and a "default" branch;
"upstream" is directly imported from upstream's svn, and the default branch
contains the directory as it is to be packed by dpkg-source.
So far, the upstream source is unpatched.
Upstream is at:
http://www.zeromq.org/
Import a new upstream version:
$ debian/hgpkg import <path/to/tar>
(<path/to/tar> is the upstream tarball to be imported; the upstream
version is extracted from the tarball filename. The import will switch to
the upstream branch, import, and switch back, and leave the uncommitted
merge on the default branch.)
-> now examine the merge, correct packaging issues, edit debian/changelog if
necessary.
$ hg ci -m "new package version"
$ debian/hgpkg build
-> if the package is good:
$ debian/hgpkg markdeb
(arguably a mercurial bug: you'll get a merge conflict in .hgtags during
upstream import which you'll have to correct manually.)
