The following steps are taken to release a new version
======================================================
# Get the latest upstream version
#gbp import-orig --uscan --sign-tags
# --sign-tags does not work
gbp import-orig --uscan
# Do we need to do git tag this manually?

export DEBFULLNAME="Dr. Helge Kreutzmann"
dch -i # New upstream version

# Check the following and after each dash commit (last line in block)
# - Debian-BTS → Fix and dch -a
# - https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/manpages-l10n → Fix and dch -a
# - Check with Mario the set of supported languages, if changed → update "update-control-files.py" (epoch needed?) and dch -a
# - Check standards version: If changed → apply changes and update "update-control-files.py" and dch -a # Update Standards-Version to 4.x.y, no changes needed
# - Update copyright (1): if new committer or year changed: Update first two entries in "copyright"
#   Update copyright (2): update-copyright.py and dch -a # Update d/copyright
#   Update control files: update-control-files.py and dch -r
git commit -a

# Build (source?) package → better done plain with debuild and friends
gbp buildpackage

# If new man page sections are used (or previous removed): Update manpages-….install AND control (match description)

gbp buildpackage --git-tag-only
git push --tags

# Test and upload



The following steps are taken to backport a new version
=======================================================
# Check that base version reached testing

# If this is the first backport:
git checkout -b trixie-backports

# Add in debian/rules:
# dh_auto_configure -- --enable-distribution=debian-trixie

# Update path to links file in d/*.links

# Otherwise switch to existing backport branch
git checkout trixie-backports
git fetch

# Merge Master into it and resolve conflicts
git merge master

export DEBFULLNAME="Dr. Helge Kreutzmann"
vim debian/changelog
git commit -a

# Turn all Breaks + Replaces (when l10n manpages moved to upstream and appeared there in Debian) to Conflicts

# Prepare the changelog
dch --bpo
git commit -a

# Build (source?) package
gbp buildpackage --git-debian-branch=bookworm-backports

# Test and upload
Download the .tar.gz from testing used as base (apt-get source should suffice)

Update the Checksums-Sha1, Checksums-Sha256 and the md5sum (in files) as well as the size to in the .dsc file to match the version from testing (before signing!)
