grip source package
===================

The code for the grip source package is managed with Git, with the aid of
"gbp". The binary package can be generated with:

  gbp buildpackage

If there's a need to manually generate an orig tarball from the "upstream"
branch, it's possible to use the Git tags in the format "upstream/{version}"
where {version} is the name of the version defined by the upstream.

For instance, if the upstream version is "4.1.0", the command to generate an
orig tarball is:

  git archive upstream/4.1.0 | gzip > ../grip_4.1.0.orig.tar.gz

As an alternative, it's also possible to download the tarball directly from
upstream forcing "uscan" to download it:

  uscan --force-download

In either way, the tarball should be available for building the package with
regular tools like "dpkg-buildpackage".
