Note that Jerome already wrote a few packaging tutorials.

I agree that a lot more could be done... but it's hard to write
automated scripts for packaging. The packages often differ.

Really this idea is a continuation of Jerome's work last year. For me
what we didn't get last year that I think would be really helpful,
"guide to packaging for mere mortals", not necessarily from scratch but
easy to follow steps to update packages when new releases come out.
Maybe even some scripts to automate the build dep rebuild issue where
when say when gdal updates all sorts of things built on in it need to be
rebuilt in certain order so that everyone benefits.
After that pursuing tools and work flows to increase packaging of stuff
that isn't packaged seems relevant, in particular the outstanding java
issue.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I'm wondering whether we should put forward a
"debiangis/ubuntugis/osgeolive packaging" idea as a Google Summer of
Code project?
In particular, I could see the focus would be on packaging of java
packages, which to date have been difficult. It would involve
researching best practices, providing recommendations based upon
research, liaising with projects and packaging communities, and
implementing the packaging.
I reckon it would be hugely valuable, and also a great stretch task for
a student.
Thoughts?
Anyone wish to volunteer as a mentor?
Any other projects?

Hello all, and sorry for cross posting,
this year, Google Summer of Code starts earlier than usual: the
applications for mentoring organisations are already open, and will
close on February 14th.
For who is new to Summer of Code, it is a global program that offers
students stipends to write code for open source projects. See more at
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2014
OSGeo is going to apply for GSoC 2014, and the first task is to set up
Ideas pages for all projects, before February, 14th. It is a little
more than a week!
The Ideas page is being built here, and shall contain links to all
the geospatial projects involved:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014_Ideas
The links from past year are commented in the wiki page. If you have
trouble editing the wiki let me or Hamish know.
I encourage developers, teachers and students to start working on ideas
for GSoC and populate the Ideas pages of the related project.
Please forward this mail, or the link to OSGeo GSoC wiki pages, to all
the interested people and projects.
If you have questions, please send a mail to the dedicated mailing list
[email protected] .
Thanks everyone in advance for your contribution to the Ideas pages -
let's do our best to get OSGeo accepted in GSoC 2014!

Best regards,
