Debian Package

kvm-tools package can be build from the debian branch of this Git repository with git-buildpackage and sbuild.

Dependencies

Install Debian dependencies :

apt install git-buildpackage sbuild

Add your user to sbuild :

sbuild-adduser <username>

You must logout and re-login or use newgrp sbuild in your current shell

You need a schroot definition in /etc/schroot/schroot.conf, eg :

[sid]
description=Debian sid (unstable)
directory=/srv/chroot/sid
groups=root,sbuild
root-groups=root,sbuild
aliases=unstable,default

Build the sbuild chroot :

sbuild-createchroot --include=eatmydata,ccache,gnupg unstable /srv/chroot/sid http://deb.debian.org/debian

Tag your changes respecting Semantic Versioning.

git tag X.Y.Z

Go to debian branch and merge your current work :

git checkout debian
git merge master

Update Debian changelog with dch and commit your change :

dch -v X.Y.Z-1
git commit -m "New upstream release (X.Y.Z)"

You can now build the Debian package :

gbp buildpackage
