[[!meta title="Keyringer: development guidelines and workflow"]]

Development environment
-----------------------

The following steps needs to be run just once.

### Create the `debian/` structure

    if [ ! -d "debian" ]; then
      dh_make -p keyringer_0.1 --createorig
    fi

### Setup a sid pbuilder chroot

    DIST=sid sudo pbuilder create --debootstrapopts --variant=buildd

### Setup a sid cowbuilder chroot

    DIST=sid sudo cowbuilder --create

Release workflow
----------------

Go to master branch

    git checkout master

Prepare the source code:

    $EDITOR ChangeLog
    make build_man

Commit and tag a release:

    git commit -a -m "Keyringer VERSION"
    git tag -s VERSION -m "Keyringer VERSION"
    git checkout upstream
    git merge    master
    git checkout debian
    git merge    upstream
    git push --all --tags

Create a release file:

    make tarball

Generate a `keyringer_VERSION.orig.tar.gz` file:

    make dh

Sign the release ([see backupninja development guidelines](https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/backupninja/wiki/Release)):

    cd ../tarballs
    gpg --armor --detach-sign keyringer-$VERSION.tar.gz

Build the package from the git three using the upstream branch:

    git-buildpackage

Run lintian (or [add it to your pbuilder hooks](http://askubuntu.com/questions/140697/how-do-i-run-lintian-from-pbuilder-dist)):

    lintian ../build-area/keyringer_*.deb
