Comment 13 for bug 861480

Would you like to try out this version yourself? It's pretty straightforward if you're running Ubuntu or Debian . Just click "Fork" on the github packaging repository I created:

https://github.com/allisonrandal/pkg-4digits

Check out your own fork, together with the packaging branches it includes:

git clone <email address hidden>:fossilet/pkg-4digits.git
git checkout -b upstream origin/upstream
git checkout -b pristine-tar origin/pristine-tar
git checkout master

You can check this worked by listing the git branches, which should look like this example:

allison@se:~/projects/git/pkg-4digits$ git branch
* master
  pristine-tar
  upstream

Install a couple of packaging tools:

sudo apt-get install git-buildpackage pristine-tar

Tell git to import the new release (it'll download the release from your site automatically):

git import-orig --pristine-tar --uscan

Edit the debian/changelog file and add these lines (update the date/time):
-----------
4digits (1.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
  * New upstream release.

Commit that change, then push all the changes back to github:

git push origin master --tags
git push origin upstream --tags
git push origin pristine-tar --tags

Let me know when that's done, and I'll get it up to Debian.
