Hi, here are my short notes on building GRASS packages from tarball on
Launchpad (opposite to daily builds done by regular fetching of SVN).
Following work flow can be used for building release builds such as
RCs or final release versions which require to build exact version. I
hope this can help.


# Download latest existing version of package from Launchpad
$ dget
https://launchpad.net/~grass/+archive/ubuntu/grass-stable/+files/grass70_7.0.0RC1-3%7Eubuntu12.04.1.dsc

# Prepare working directory with git enabled
$ mkdir pkg-grass
$ cd pkg-grass
$ git init

# Import downloaded version of package from Launchpad
$ git-import-dsc ../grass70_7.0.0RC1-3%7Eubuntu12.04.1.dsc

# Import new tarball we want to build
$ git-import-orig ../grass_7.0.0~RC2.tar.gz

# Optionally, merge Debian packaging (content of debian direcory:
branch lp:~grass/grass/grass_trunk_debian) here

# Update Debian changelog
$ dch -i
$ git diff
