Hello, 

oops, indeed I forgot to push the tag, sorry. That's fixed now.

Updating the package was untrivial, as there is not tarball upstream.
So I wrote a script to build the tarball from the svn first. 

Then, I imported that tarball into the git using
  git-import-orig /tmp/libjsyntaxpane-java-0.9.6~r156.tar.gz
When prompted, I checked the version number and just pressed enter.

Then, I updated the package itself. I only had to update the
changelog, using:
  dch -i "new upstream release"

Then I built the package with git-buildpackage. As it did not report
any error, I installed the built package, and as it was ok to me, I did
  dch -r
to update the timestamp and set the distribution to "unstable" in the
changelog. Then I asked you guys to test the package. When I'll be
happy, I'll rebuild it again using 
  git-buildpackage --git-tag 
upload the package with dput, and push everything in the git (if I
don't forget parts this time ;)

I wrote this all from memory so something is maybe missing, but I hope
you get the big picture. That's actually very easy :)

Bye, Mt.
