Updating doc-linux
------------------
This package mimics the doc-linux package maintained by Colin Watson
Updating doc-linux-fr to include the latest documentation from the Linux
Documentation Project is quite an easy task.
* Run 'debian/rules refresh', overriding TRADUC if necessary. This
fetches new .tar.gz archives from upstream, which go in the FAQ and
HOWTO directories.
* If the FAQ is updated, check its new version number and document this in
debian/changelog.
* Find out which HOWTOs have changed. This can be done most simply by
diffing the output of 'tar tzvf Linux-HOWTOs*.old.tar.gz' and
'tar tzvf Linux-HOWTOs*.tar.gz', and likewise for the
Linux-mini-HOWTOs archives. (The refresh process keeps old versions of
the archives around so that this is convenient.) Document the changes in
debian/changelog.
* Remove old versions of the HOWTO archives from the HOWTO directory.
* Make sure you have incremented the upstream version number component of
the first entry in debian/changelog, and that you have renamed the build
directory accordingly.
* Run 'fakeroot debian/rules orig' to construct a new .orig.tar.gz.
* Build new packages against this in the normal way.
Apart from the 'refresh' and 'orig' targets, the doc-linux build procedure
should hold no surprises for someone familiar with Debian packaging.
