+Updating packages
+-----------------
+
+If you download a new upstream source file, move it to the parent of the current source directory.  Make sure it has a name with a Debian compliant version number, say `foo-2.1.tar.gz`. `cd` into the current source directory.  You can port the current patches to the new sources with
+ `uupdate ../foo-2.1.tar.gz`
+Now `cd` into the new source directory and look for any failed patches
+ `find . -name \*.rej`
+Once you have cleared these up, build and check the package as described above.
+
+Keeping packages updated thanks to uscan
