-Then depending on your distribution you'll have to follow one of the following recipe:
+== Package build process ==
 
-== Debian ==
-
-(Note from Bruno: Andree, it's probably outdated, and I think the RPM procedure also works here)
-
- 1. for mondo package, cd into mondo directory and run ./bootstrap
- 2. rename package directory: <package>-<latest release><branch><yymmdd>[[BR]]
-    '''Note:''' <branch> = 'bt' for berlios trunk and 'bb' for berlios branch 
- 3. create tarball: tar cvzf <package>_<latest release><branch><yymmdd>.orig.tar.gz <package>-<latest release><branch><yymmdd>
- 4. create new directory <package>-<latest release><branch><yymmdd>-1
- 5. copy tarball in new directory and unpack there
- 6. cd into tarball directory
- 7. copy debian directory from last package
- 8. dch --newversion <latest release><branch><yymmdd>-1
- 9. build ;-)

-== Ubuntu ==

-You will need to rebuild the packages, though (mainly because of library
-differences):
-
- 1. get <prg_ver>.dsc, <prg_ver>.orig.tar.gz and <prg_ver>.diff.gz files
- 2. unpack source with dpkg-source -x <program>.dsc
- 3. change into new directory <prg-ver>
- 4. run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
- 5. install all missing packages for building and repeat
- 6. install using dpkg -i <prg_ver>.deb
- 7. if this fails install all missing binary dependencies and repeat
-
-You need to do this for mindi, mondo and mindi-busybox.
-
-(On Ubuntu I suggest to use sudo bash to get a root shell rather than
-sudo'ing every command.)
-
-== RPM Based Distributions ==
-
-This has currently only be tested with !RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, Fedora Core 4/5, SLES 9, !OpenSuSE 10 and Mandriva 10.2/2005 and 2006.0

-From the sources rpm packages the nearest from your distro (that you can get from ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org), you may build packages for your target distribution by doing:
-

+ * It first computes the $TOOLHOME variable which is the location of the tools directory in the SVN tree
+ * It then source commen-env, which sets up and creates 2 variables $TOPDIR for the delivery of the files/packages and $MONDOTMP for temporary files
+ * It then source svn-env which creates 3 variables $VER which is mondo version, $REVISION which is the current SVN revision and finaly $TAG which is our package tag (what is after the - in an rpm/deb).
