Architecture restriction
------------------------
All binary packages have an Architecture: list set. This is done because dnsdist
requires 64bit time_t support, and only 64bit archs have this in Debian, at
the time of writing (*).
A better way of restricting package builds to such architectures would be
very welcome.

Building from source
--------------------
Install "git-buildpackage" and run the following steps:
gbp clone https://salsa.debian.org/dns-team/dnsdist.git
cd dnsdist
gbp buildpackage
We recommend you use sbuild to make sure you build in a clean environment.
Example call:
gbp buildpackage --git-builder='sbuild -d unstable -j8'
Changelog
---------
This package uses gbp dch for automatically generating debian/changelog entries
from the corresponding git commits. This makes cherry-picking, merging, and
rebasing much simpler.
Thus, for any packaging change *do not* modify debian/changelog. Just write a
meaningful git commit message with proper bug references (ex: "Closes: #12345"
on the last line). For doing a release, run
gbp dch --auto --release
then beautify the generated debian/changelog and commit it.
Patch handling
--------------
This package uses gbp pq for maintaining patches with a git-like workflow in a
"patch-queue/<branch>" local branch and then exporting them as quilt series.
For working on patches you run
gbp pq import --force
Then you are in the patch-queue branch and can git log, commit, cherry-pick
upstream commits, rebase, etc. there. After you are done, run
gbp pq export
which will put you back into master and update debian/patches/ (including
series). You need to git add etc. new patches, possibly other
packaging changes, and then git commit as usual.
This package tends to have few patches, so all of them go into the default
series.
Synchronized packaging with upstream
------------------------------------
Upstream ships Debian and Ubuntu packages aligned with Debian's packaging
at https://repo.powerdns.com/. Packaging sources for those can be found at
https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/tree/master/builder-support/debian .
While there are some minor differences, the general goal is to stay aligned.
Recently, we have tried to align the used Lua versions too.
