We want the latest inspircd2.0 branch for debian stable. Stable only has 1.1.22. Instead we'll grab 2.0 from testing, update it to the latest release, and backport it to stable.

apt-get update
apt-get --target-release testing source inspircd

• Change into the source directory created by apt
• Lock the debian watch file (debian/watch) down to the latest release as show below.

http://inspircd.github.com/downloads/ https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd/archive/v(2\.0\..+).tar.gz

• Use uscan to update the source

uscan --verbose

• Next run uupdate on the new source tarball

cd inspircd-2.0.5
uupdate ../inspircd_2.0.10.orig.tar.gz

• Change to the new source and remove any patches [these should be upstream by now]

cd ../inspircd-2.0.10
rm debian/patch/*.diff
vim debian/patch/series

• Now is a good time to add any extra modules you want to include. In my case I add chatlog.

• Write a changelog entry for our update

dch -e

• Build the dsc file so we can use pbuilder

debuild -i -us -uc -S

• Jump back up a directory and get pbuilder to build the deb.

cd ..
pbuilder-dist squeeze build inspircd_<version>.dsc
