Howto upgrade package version while packaging for hackable:1

When upgrading the software version (external software or internal hackable:1 development), packaging patch (packages/software-name/software-name.diff) has to be updated as well to reflect version bumping.

Steps:

$ cd /path-to-hackable1-src/trunk/packages

Edit packages.txt to reflect changes: (version/revision bumping)

$ ./package.sh mysoftware  # this will fail: "No such file or directory"
$ cd mysoftware/mysoftware-version

Edit debian/changelog to reflect changes:

mysoftware (X.y+svnZZZ-r) unstable; urgency=low

Then run:

$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc  # should build the package
$ cd ../..
$ ./mkdiff.sh mysoftware
$ ./package.sh mysoftware
$ ./package.sh DEBIAN_ARCH=armel mysoftware  # it should still cross-compile

If everything is fine, verify the diff and commit it:

$ svn diff | vim -
$ svn commit
