Suppose we have a new wajig-0.1.2.tar.gz and want to package this up. Ensure this tar file is in the root directory, cd into the old source directory, and ask Debian to update:

$ cd wajig-0.1.1 $ uupdate -u wajig-0.1.2.tar.gz

The updated source directory is ../wajig-0.1.2. We simply go there and build the Debian package and install it in our archive:

$ cd ../wajig-0.1.2 $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot $ cd .. $ lintian -i wajig_0.1.2-1_i386.changes $ cp wajig_0.1.2* /var/www/debian/ $ cd /var/www/debian/ $ chmod go+r wajig_0.1.2* $ apt-ftparchive packages . > Packages $ apt-ftparchive sources . > Sources $ gzip -c Packages > Packages.gz $ gzip -c Sources > Sources.gz

Then install the new package with:

$ apt-get update $ apt-get install wajig

Of course, if you are already using wajig this becomes:

$ wajig update $ wajig install wajig
