Uploading the installation-guide

If you don't have an git checkout already:

git clone git@salsa.debian.org:installer-team/installation-guide.git
cd installation-guide

otherwise make sure you have the latest version:

git pull

make sure your pbuilder is up to date:

sudo pbuilder update

or build one if you don't have one already:

sudo apt-get install pbuilder
sudo pbuilder create

try to build (to make it faster we here use a box with 24 cores):

DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=24 pdebuild

mark the release changelog entry, using the date of the day as package version (e.g. 20160629):

dch -v 20160629
dch -r

proofread and commit (note the commit id, e.g. 12345):

git diff
git diff --check  # checks on unwanted space, no output is good
git status  # to see which files have been touch
git add {filename of touched files}
git commit -m "Describe what was changed"

make a clean build:

DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=24 pdebuild

sign the .changes, upload. When it gets ACCEPTed, tag the version:

git tag -sm "installation-guide: releasing version 20160629" 20160629
git push origin 20160629
