Releasing a new Debian package
==============================

0. (optional) Test the build:

		gbp dch --snapshot
		gbp buildpackage --git-ignore-new

1. Update Debian changelog for the new release:

		git checkout debian/changelog    # remove any snapshots etc. from the changelog
		gbp dch --release --commit

   This opens an editor, where you can (if needed) change the package
   version or the changelog entries generated automatically from git
   commit messages.

2. Build the package:

		gbp buildpackage --git-tag -b -uc -us

   The `-b -uc` options and possibly others are passed to the build
   tool. You can add `--git-builder=sbuild` if you want to use
   `sbuild` command to build the package in clean environment. Then
   use required sbuild options instead of `-b -uc`.

3. Push new commit (change log) and version tag to the server:

		git push --follow-tags
