Hi,

I have changed the wmtemp package.
Now I need to change the version so that it can be distinguished from
its origin.
How do I do that?

Unpack the source, use the "dch" program (from devscripts) to add a new
entry to the debian/changelog file, and then rebuild the package using
dpkg-buildpackage (or whatever you have been using).
