Re-Uploading a Package

Here's how to re-upload an existing package to Soyuz on dogfood.

First, make sure you have this in your ~/.dput.cf:

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

On your local machine, run:

apt-get source <package>  # (Or obtain in some other way)
cd <package-dir>
dch -i

That last command will prompt you to edit the debian changelog. It creates a new entry for you, which is what tells the system that the package has changed and needs re-processing.

Then:

debuild -S
cd ..
dput <package>.changes

You may have to satisfy the package's build-dependencies.  You install any additional required packages with:
{{{
sudo apt-get build-dep <package>
}}}

Now you're all set up to mess with the package.
