-Building lrslib for Debian
---------------------------
+If you are reading this from a Debian source package, you can stop
+now; this package should build fine after extracting with dpkg-source
+-x. The rest of this file gives some hints about generating source
+packages from the packaging git repository.
 
-The lrslib source package uses dpkg-source to apply its patches.
+This package has patches to upstream source applied to the master
+branch. In order you generate a source package, you have several
+choices.
 
-The quilt series is generated from the Git repository,  using topgit.
-This process is documented in /usr/share/doc/topgit/HOWTO-tg2quilt.gz if
-the topgit package is installed.
+To generate an old style single patch, you can use dpkg-source or
+e.g. gitpkg without any special preparation, with the possible
+exception of adding "single-debian-patch" to
+debian/source/local-options.
 
-The lrslib package uses the branch layout described in HOWTO-tg2quilt.gz
+In order have patches exported individually at source package creation
+time, you can enable "git-debcherry". After installing a recent
+version of gitpkg, see
+/usr/share/gitpkg/hooks/debcherry-deb-export-hook for configuration hints.
 
-The original source tarballs are stored in the git repo using
-pristine-tar.  You can check out the current tarball by
-
-    # UPSTREAM should be the current upstream version
-    pristine-tar checkout ../lrslib_$(UPSTREAM).orig.tar.gz
