+(these are my rough notes, please correct them)
+
+[[PageOutline]]
+
+== Building ==
+
+Building is done on zulu.mit.edu, using the builder account.
+Do not forward your root tickets when ssh'ing to builder@zulu.
+
+
+1. '''cd /mit/debathena/packages/''subdir'' '''
+ * ''subdir'' corresponds to the subdirectories under trunk/debathena in the repository.  Note that trunk/athena is also here.
+
+2. '''dasource ''packagename'' '''
+ * This checks out the latest revision of the package, unpacks it, and builds the source package.
+
+3. '''cd ''packagename'' '''
+
+4. '''da [-A] sbuildhack ''dsc-file'' '''
+ * ''dsc-file'' is the `.dsc` file for the current version of the package (created by dasource). [[BR]]
+ * '''da''' essentially runs its arguments for all distributions and architectures that we know about.  '''-A''' is used when building an architecture-independent (`Architecture: all`) package.  It only builds one architecture for each distribution (currently, amd64).  If the da script fails, you will be prompted to continue or give up.  It will print a summary of the successful builds when it completes.
+
+5. Verify that the .debs were created in the current directory.  Proceeding to '''Uploading'''
+
+== Uploading ==
+
+NOTE: The cwd is assumed to be  /mit/debathena/packages/''subdir''/''packagename'' (where the '''Building''' step ended).  
+
+1. '''daupload-proposed [-A] ''source-changes'' '''
+ * ''source-changes'' is the source package's `.changes` file.
+ * Like '''da''', '''daupload''' and friends take '''-A''' if the package is architecture independent
+ * To upload to the -development repository instead, replace '''daupload-proposed''' with '''daupload-dev'''
+
+== Moving between repositories ==
+
+Packages can be moved between repositories with '''damove'''.  This is the normal way in which packages should migrate from -proposed to the production repository.
+
+1. '''damove''' ''destination'' ''source'' ''packagename''
+ * ''destination'' is the repository you are moving the package '''to'''.  Use an empty string (`""`) to indicate the production repository.
+ * ''source'' is the repository you are moving the package '''from'''.
+ * ''packagename'' is the name of the package
+ * '''damove''' will warn you if you accidentally swap the ''desintation'' and ''source'' arguments
+
+== Equivs Packages ==
+
+NOTE: The equivs packages are all located in `/mit/debathena/packages/meta`.
+
+1. '''cd /mit/debathena/packages/meta/''packagename'' '''
+ * ''packagename is the name of the package (without the `debathena-` prefix)
+
+2. '''svn update'''
+ * There is no '''dasource''' for equivs packages.
+
+3. '''equivs-build --full ''equivs-file'' '''
+ * ''equivs-file'' is the name of the `.equivs` file for the package
+
+4. '''daupload-equivs-proposed ''source-changes'' '''
+ * ''source-changes'' is the source package's `.changes` file.
+ * To upload to the -development repository instead, replace '''daupload-equivs-proposed''' with '''daupload-equis-dev'''
+
+5. When moving the equivs package between repositories, the same '''damove''' syntax is used as with regular packages.
+
+== Example ==
+
+An example, using version 1.18.2 of the package debathena-printing-config, whose source is located at trunk/debathena/config/printing-config
+
+1. cd /mit/debathena/packages/config
+
+2. dasource debathena-printing-config
+
+3. cd debathena-printing-config
+
+4. da -A sbuildhack debathena-printing-config_1.18.2.dsc
+
+5. daupload-proposed -A debathena-printing-config_1.18.2_source.changes
+
+6. (wait for  3 days of testing) 
+
+7. damove "" "-proposed" debathena-printing-config
