Subject: [UKUUG-Announce] UKUUG & O'Reilly - Debian Packaging Turorial -
19th May 2011
Debian Packaging Tutorial - by Phil Hands
London - Thursday 19th May 2011
Book you place now - places are limited!
Bookings now open at:
http://www.ukuug.org/events/debian2011/
This is a one-day course that will assume very little Debian specific
knowledge, although attendees should have some familiarity with the GNU/Linux
shell command line. 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).

The test of the goodness of a thing is its fitness for use. If it
fails on this first test, no amount of ornamentation or finish will
make it any better, it will only make it more expensive and foolish.
-- Frank Pick, lecture to the Design and Industries Assoc, 1916
