To build a release: Make sure workspace revision matches what you want to release. # Make the source tarball # only if you didn't already do it for launchpad! # Otherwise make sure the i2p-0.9.xx.orig.tar.bz2 file is # in the dir above the source directory, and skip to next step ant debian-release-tarball # Following instructions (and filenames) are for unstable. # Repeat for each target. # Go to the source directory created by ant debian-release-tarball # Fix up the changelog cd i2p_0.9.xx-x-xxxxxxxx/ ant debchange vi debian/changelog change i2p_0.9.xx-x-xxxxxxxx-1 to i2p_0.9.xx-1 change UNRELEASED to unstable change comment to "New upstream version 0.9.xx" fix your name and email # fix up the control and rules files as necessary # fix up the patches/ files as necessary # build the binary packages: ant debian-binary This will make the following files in .: i2p-doc_0.9.xx-1_all.deb i2p-router_0.9.xx-1_all.deb i2p_0.9.xx-1_all.deb libjbigi-jni_0.9.xx-1_amd64.deb Note that you won't have a libjbigi-jni_0.9.xx-1_i386.deb file, or one for any other architecture.
