| 4 | | the autoconf boilerplate which we don't check in. Second, run |
| 5 | | "daorig" to copy or create an orig tarball in the parent directory if |
| 6 | | necessary. Third, run "debuild". The resulting package will be |

| | 3 | Because of the way our build system is configured, building a test package is not always as simple as "debuild". Most of the time it will work, but with legacy Athena packages (under the `athena` section of the tree), some autoconf preparation is necessary. You can run `daconfiscate` to prepare a legacy athena package for building. |
