1 To do

apt-get install emacs mc subversion git


mkdir debRSAT
cd debRSAT
svn export svn://anonscm.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/package_template debian

1.1 Edit the watch file

The watch file will serve to check the availability of the download URL. New versions?

Regular expressio including the version (in my case it is a date).

1.2 Edit he changelog file

replace by rsat

  • package name + version rsat ([my_version]-1)
  • the -1 is the debian package version.
  • date -R gives the date in the required formet for Debian changelog file

After this, use the command dch to edit the changelog.

1.3 Edit the control file

  • replace by rsat
  • section: science

1.4 Debian Med account

I requested an account on debian med, login jvanheld.

1.5 Downloading the URL

uscan --verbose

Checks if there is a new version of the URL documented in the watch file.

1 watch file = 1 pattern = 1 file to download

EDITOR=emacs dch

## Deb helper
dh

## Install the devscript package
sudo apt-get install devscript

## Check if an rsat package already exists in Debian
wnpp-check rsat
## no
