Creation of a new Debian changelog:
dch --create --package retroshare --newversion 0.6.4-1
Note: dch reads email in $DEBMAIL or $USER@$HOSTNAME, so it should be made correct in debian/changlog
If the email does not match the email in mentors, the package will be rejected.
dget command to retrieve source package:
dget -u https://launchpad.net/~retroshare/+archive/ubuntu/stable/+files/retroshare_0.6.4-1.20180313.0e6d27ad~xenial.dsc
(-u means don't check PGP signature)
When ready:
* updload the package in a place that can be used to dget the package on mentors.debian.net.
dput mentors retroshare_0.6.4-1_source.changes
Checking with lintian:
lintian -EI --pedantic --profile debian retroshare_0.6.4-1_source.changes
echo -e 'display-info=y\ndisplay-experimental=y\npedantic=y\ncolor=auto' > ~/.config/lintian/lintianrc
Also apply lintian to binaries
* fix overlinking in voip plugin
Turn the RFP bug into ITP
you have to send an e-mail to control@bugs.debian.org and use the "retitle" command
[05/13/2018] successfully retitled. The mail *body* (instead of subject) needs to contain the command in a single line.
Todo
x make a sid binary package.
* test in sid using pbuilder chroot system (pbuilder login)
x upload to mentors
x request for sponsorship

reportbug -B debian
Re-do debian/rules according to
https://sources.debian.org/src/sleepyhead/1.0.0-beta-2+dfsg-5/debian/rules/
the proper way to use qtchooser in d/rules is exporting QT_SELECT in d/rules, see https://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/packagingqtbasedstuff.html
disable autologin
Put the package on salsa:
salsa.debian.org
Debian binary changes file signature:
gpg --clearsign -u 0932399B retroshare_0.6.4-1_amd64.changes
Signature does only work when done with debsign:
debsign -k0932399B retroshare_0.6.4-1.dsc
debsign -k0932399B retroshare_0.6.4-1_source.changes
debsign -k0932399B retroshare_0.6.4-1_amd64.changes
Uploading-to-mentors bug:
Apparently the system prevents you from uploading while a package is in the
queue. So the upload responds "403 forbidden" whene e.g. the previous
upload was cancelled by ^C.
