TOPICS:
* Packaging and Building (1 hour). An amalgum of the above two talks, with all the interdependencies between the two parts followed. Please note that I'll likely only do one or the other - it all depends on whether people want to be bored in short blocks or in one large chunk. <g>
* Basic debugging with GDB and friends (30 min - 1 hour, depending on how
much I cover - pick your depth!). Although a lot of software these days is
written in higher level scripting languages, with their own debugging
infrastructure, being able to get into GDB and get a stack trace or similar
is quite useful. Also handy is memory leak checking and bounds checking
with ccmalloc and electric fence. Note: this will not be an in-depth
investigation of how to use GDB. Pretty much it'll follow what I wrote some
time ago at http://ieee.uow.edu.au/~mjp16/prog/debugging - but it'll have
live, interactive screwups for extra entertainment. <g>
I'd like to see these ones. The non-CVS version control talk sounds good too.
