Help make packages for KDE 3.5 beta1

• Make a breezy chroot see DebootstrapChroot

• Install KDE 3.5 beta1 kdelibs and kdebase (ask Riddell for URL)
• Grab a source package for your favourite module (ask Riddell for URL)
• unbzip it, remove debian directory, tar zcf into a .orig file ( fex. kdefoo_x.x.orig.tar.gz )

• grab current sources: mkdir current && cd current && apt-get source kdefoo && cd ..

• copy the debian directory into the new sources
• dch -i to update the changelog, make sure version number is correct ( use fex. 3.4.91, not 3.5beta1 or something similar )

• test that all the patches apply, patch -p1 < debian/patches/foo, fix those that don't

• Remove unsermake build-dep from debian/control and line from debian/rules
• Make sure the deps in debian/control point to the correct version of kdelibs4-dev
• debuild
• wait
• Make sure it's compiled and fix the debian/*install files, dh_install --list-missing will tell you what's in the *install files but no longer exists then will tell you what files exist but arn't in the *install files missing
• debuild -nc to repackage without cleaning
• install the resulting .debs and test
• build for hoary (need a hoary chroot, set version number to -0ubuntu0hoary1)
