To update the version follow these steps. Replace all instances of `[year].[major].[minor]` with the new version numbers (e.g., 2017.3++).
1. Fork the repo
2. Create your own feature branch
```
git checkout -b version-[year].[major].[minor]
```
3. Rename the following
```
mv intellij-idea-community_2017.3 intellij-idea-community_[year].[major].[minor]
mv intellij-idea-community_2017.3.orig.tar.gz intellij-idea-community_[year].[major].[minor].orig.tar.gz
```
4. Edit the README.md and update the version numbers
5. Go into the build files directory
```
cd intellij-idea-community_[year].[major].[minor]/debian
