---++ Introduction

This document describes the changes needed to install a machine on which Univention packages can be built and developed.

---++ Setting up for development

Start with an installed Univention machine and apply the following changes:

   * ucr set repository/online/unmaintained=yes
   * ucr set repository/online/sources=yes
   * apt-get update

Install basic development tools on the system:

   * apt-get install subversion build-essential

To download and extract source code for Univention packages use the following command:

   * apt-get source <package>

The source packages will be downloaded to the current directory. After downloading, the source files are extracted and patched, also in the current directory.

To compile a package, enter the source code directory and run:

   * dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b 

Some dependency packages may need to be installed first, see the output of dpkg-buildpackage. Built packages are placed in the parent directory.
