  == Build Packages ==
  
  Make sure you are in the master branch, if unsure, run 'git checkout master'. You will notice the directory named 'debian'.
- Building packages with {{{git-buildpackage}}} is now as easy as running:

  git-buildpackage will learn about the version to pack from the debian/changelog file. And since no .orig.tar.gz file is present, it will be recreated from the upstream branch. Once this was done, the remainder works as with dpkg-buildpackage, with no further involvement of the package maintainer.
  
- The annoying thing with git- or dpkg-buildpackage is that those start the packaging from scratch since they call "fakeroot ./debian/rules clean" by default. If that is not desired then consider calling "fakeroot ./debian/rules binary", instead. Once the packages are brought to pristine shape, then run git-buildpackage again for a clean picture.
