Hi all, There are many problems with the current state of our Packaging Guide [1]:
* Half of it talks about Ubuntu Distributed Development, which is no longer a living thing. * Another part is a bit outdated, as it is mostly unmaintained, while our tools and methods continuously evolve. Also that other part is mostly redundant, as the Debian documentation talks about the same things. * There are 63 bugs [2] at the moment, and almost nobody looks at them. Daniel Holbach who was one of the main contributors, left Canonical [3] in December, and since then we had almost no changes apart from translations (except for two Laney’s fixes — thanks!). Unless someone wants to take this project over, I propose the following: * Remove ubuntu-packaging-guide package from Debian and Ubuntu archives. * Turn the current website into a collection of links to other resources (i.e. those from [4]). Opinions?
