 # Patches for Ganeti
 
 This repository contains our patches for ganeti which we apply on top of the already patched debian package.
+We retrieve the package source from debian, add some patches, build, and copy to our debian repository.
+After installation from our repository, we need to pin those to prevent updating from debian's regular sources.
+See apt's documentation on pinning.
+
+
+## Interesting Links
+
+Rebuilding an existing package is described here:
+https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial
+
+More information on building:
+https://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian
+
+The ganeti package uses `quilt` to manage its patches. See this tutorial:
+https://raphaelhertzog.com/2012/08/08/how-to-use-quilt-to-manage-patches-in-debian-packages/
+
+
+## Rebuilding Ganeti
+
+It boils down to the following steps:
+
+- `apt-get source ganeti`
+- `cd ganeti-2.15.2/debian`
+- `quilt import ../remove_blockdev_from_movable_list.patch` and others
+- `dch -n` creates a new changelog entry
+- `debuild -b -uc -us` builds the package
+
+At least according to my zsh history.
 
-In the near future it shall also contain a guide on how to build ganeti with those patches and maybe some tooling for that.
-See ticket #13 on RT.
