 Building Debian or PPA source packages.
 ===========

+Also, AppImages, Pacman packages ....
 
 
 This document is about building the source packages that are uploaded to either Debian Mentors or Launchpad PPA. With tomboy-ng, we use scripts (in the scripts dir) to do the initial setup prior to building and then instructions here to complete the processes. In all cases, we upload a source package, it must build on their remote system.
