At the end of the course, each attendee will have installed a build environment on their laptop, and understand how to prepare packages suitable for upload to Debian, as well as how one prepares a local repository for use in addition to the Debian archive. Syllabus: * Preparing a package from unpackaged sources * Patching pre-existing packages * The various packaging helpers, and packaging standards * Packaging in conjunction with Version Control Systems * Building in a clean environment, with Pbuilder and chums * Setting up and maintaining a local repository, with authentication * How to find out about the other specialised packaging methods in use Other subjects will be explored on the route taken as each attendee assembles a package building infrastructure on their machine, depending upon the particular interests of those attending (within reason). -- UKUUG Secretariat PO Box 37 Buntingford Herts SG9 9UQ Tel: 01763 273475 Fax: 01763 273255 [email protected] www.ukuug.org ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Adam Trickett Overton, HANTS, UK The test of the goodness of a thing is its fitness for use.
