===============================================
  Bumping the version of a package on dogfood
===============================================

- Make sure source debs are enabled in ``sources.list`` or Software
  Centre.

- Make a new directory, e.g. ``clive``, and ``cd`` into it.

- ``apt-get source ${name}``

- ``cd`` into the package directory.

- ``dch -i`` to launch your editor.

- Edit the version, enter a dummy message, and check your email
  address is correct. Optionally retarget the package to a different
  series.

- Rename any files with the old version number in ``..`` to match the
  new version number you've chosen.

- ``debuild -S -sa`` builds the source package.

- Make a ``~/.dput.cf``::

    [dogfood]
    fqdn = dogfood.launchpad.net
    method = ftp
    incoming = ubuntu/
    login = anonymous
    allow_unsigned_uploads = 0

- Go back to the ``clive`` directory and ``dput dogfood *.changes``.

- Talk to someone (e.g. bigjools) about running the upload processor
  on ``mawson``.
