+Release engineer: Updating the apt repository
+---------------------------------------------
+
+ 1. ssh to the build server as the builder account and change to the
+ canonical build directory.
+
+ 2. Run "gen-packages" to update the package list. (Or "gen-packages
+ -c" if you know the AFS checkout of the source tree is up to date;
+ it should update every half hour.)
+
+ 3. Run "ood-packages" to produce a list of out-of-date packages.
+
+ 4. For each out of date package, run "dasource PKG". Then change to
+ the package directory and run "da sbuildhack *.dsc" and
+ "daupload-release *_source.changes". If the package contains
+ only an "Architecture: all" binary package, pass the -A option to
+ both commands.
+
+ 5. svn update the meta directory. If there are new subdirectories,
+ chmod them 777 to work around a perl/AFS permissions issue with
+ File::Temp. For each updated subdir, change to it, run
+ "equivs-build --full *.equivs", and then "daequivsupload
+ FILENAME.changes" on the produced changes file.
+
+ 6. svn update the third directory. You can let autodebathenify
+ handle the updated scripts, or you can touch
+ ~/autodebathenify.suppress, make sure it's not running, and run
+ "da ./debathenify-PKG source binary upload" in each updated
+ directory.
+
+Sometimes you may have to mix up the order of the above steps in order
+to handle build dependencies.
