+= How to build the Debian package of `psensor` from GIT
+:docinfo2:
+:icons: font
+
+This document is explaining step by step how to build the Debian
+package of psensor directly from the GIT repository.
+
+== Build the Debian package
+
+Install `git-buildpackage`:
+
+----
+sudo apt-get install git-buildpackage
+----
+
+Install all build dependencies (you can get it from
+the variable `Build-depends` of the file `debian/control`):
+
+----
+sudo apt-get install ...
+----
+
+Checkout the source of `psensor` and its packaging:
+
+----
+git clone https://git.wpitchoune.net/psensor-pkg-debian.git
+----
+
+Build the Debian package:
+
+----
+cd psensor-pkg-debian.git
+git-buildpackage
+----
+
+== Build to another Debian distribution
+
+`pbuilder` can be used to build `psensor` to another Debian
+distribution than the one used by the build machine.
+
+Installation of `pbuilder`:
+
+----
+apt-get install pbuilder qemu-user-static
+----
+
+Create the distribution image:
+
+----
+git-pbuilder create --config raspbian.pbuilderrc
+----
+
+The variable `DISTRIBUTION` in the configuration file is specifying
+the distribution target of the build. It might be useful for
+example to check the compilation on the 'testing' flavor of `Debian`.
+
+See a configuration example for `Raspbian`:
+link:raspbian.pbuilderrc[raspbian].
+
+To update the image:
+
+----
+git-pbuilder update
+----
+
+Checkout the source of `psensor` and its packaging:
+
+----
+git clone https://git.wpitchoune.net/psensor-pkg-debian.git
+----
+
+And finally, build the `Debian` package:
+
+----
+git-buildpackage --git-pbuilder
+----
