+## Intro
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+```
+sudo apt install debhelper
+sudo apt install devscripts
+```
+
+## Build
+
+You can generate a non-signed debian package via:
+
+```bash
+debuild -us -uc -b
+```
+in the parent of this directory. This will generate the deb file in the parent directory of this repository.
+
+You can increase changelog version and comments with `dch` utility, like with `dch -i` that increase minor version.
+
+Add to your .gitignore:
+```
+*/*.debhelper
+*/*.debhelper.log
+*.buildinfo
+*.substvars
+debian/files
+debian/ipt
+```
+## Looking for inspiration?
+
+You can see [tomcat8-examples package source](https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/tomcat8/tree/master/debian) for inspiration of tomcat8 packages and also about how to create multiple debian packages from a same source repository.
+
+Also `dbconfig-common` package have some samples in `/usr/share/doc/dbconfig-common/examples/` for mysql and postgresql debian configuration tasks for packages.
+
+## Testing
+
+You can test the generated package without install it with `piuparts` like:
+
+```bash
+sudo piuparts -D ubuntu -d xenial -d bionic ../ipt_2.4.0-1_all.deb
+```
+in this way you can also test it in different releases.
+
+Read `/usr/share/doc/piuparts/README.*` for more usage samples.
