This package is a bundle of several upstream distributions, so it cannot be
updated in the usual manner (using uscan, uupdate, svn-upgrade, etc.)
Instead, you must check which versions have been updated using:
cd tarballs
./check-upstream-versions
(you must be in the tarballs directory to read packages.cfg)
When new versions are detected, download them into the appropriate tarball
directories using an appropriate tool, such as wget. Directory numbers
refer to the build sequence, so modules in 01 arebuilt first, then 02, and
so forth). Remove the old version (using svn rm) and add the new version
(using svn add). Adding new packages is similar, except there is obviously
no removal of old versions.
Lastly, you must update the control metadata files. If adding new modules,
you must corresponding data to packages.cfg or the tarball will not be
recognized. The format of the file should be self-explanatory and should
be updated when copyright information changes, when the upstream package
URL changes, or when the short description should be different.
By running the command:
cd tarballs
./check-upstream-versions control
the debian/control and debian/copyright files will be updated as needed.
This means any new packages will have their names and descriptions added
to debian/control, and the filenames and/or copyright data in d/copyright
will be updated accordingly.
