README.AutoMate

Short guide to build packages in AutoMate:



  * Add debian/watch with following content (#PACKAGE# is the lowercase
  package name):

version=3
http://pub.mate-desktop.org/releases/(\d\.\d)/#PACKAGE#-(.*)\.tar\.bz2



  * Add at the end of debian/rules:
  
get-orig-source:
	uscan --noconf --force-download --rename --repack --download-current-version --destdir=.



  * Switch to augogen.sh if necessary (add also mate-common in debian/control!):

DEB_CONFIGURE_SCRIPT := ./autogen.sh



  * Check if possible to solve some lintian warnings/errors:

http://mate.karapetsas.com/lintian.php?package=#PACKAGE#



  * Add -dbg and -doc packages, if they are useful:
