Upgrade to a new upstream
=========================
This package is a multi-upstream source package, i.e., its
.orig.tar.gz is composed by several upstream tarballs, possibly
released by independent authors.
To obtain a new orig tarball you can invoke the get-orig-source target
of debian/rules as follows:
$ debian/rules get-orig-source
If all goes well, that should leave aroung a tarball called
PACKAGE-YYYYMMDD.orig.tar.gz
where PACKAGE is the source package name and YYYYMMDD is today's date
in year/month/day format.
Note that the target does not check whether creating a new upstream
version is needed: invoke it only if you know that some of the
upstream parts of this package need updates. Otherwise, use "apt-get
source PACKAGE" to work on the latest uploaded upstream release.
Adding a new plugin
===================
As this is a plugin collection package, it is natural to expect that
in the future new plugins will be added. To add one to the package
follow a few simple rules:
1) add the module name (usually the egg name) to the $(UPSTREAMS)
Makefile variable in debian/rules
2) add the per-plugin watch file as debian/NAME.watch, where NAME is
the module name
3) add license and copyright information about the new module to
debian/copyright
4) run "debian/rules get-orig-source" to recreate the new tarball
