Hi,
I thought some of you may be interested.
I'm organising a workshop on making packages for Debian at
syn2cat. Details have not stabilised yet but I'm aiming for between 17
October afternoon and 25 October morning or between 2 November morning
and 8 November afternoon. If interested people have constraints or
preferences, let me know and/or enter the discussion at
https://lists.hackerspace.lu/pipermail/syn2cat-discuss/2009-October/000592.…
We could work on a synthetic example, but it would be best we worked
on something that you actually want to package (and maintain?) for
Debian. So if any of your favourite programs (whether you wrote them
or not) is not packaged, let's take them as working example. Anybody
has such a program (or dataset or ...) to suggest?
Take a machine running Debian with you, with everything needed to
compile the program installed and the following packages:
build-essential, devscripts, dpkg-dev (plus a reasonable selection of
their recommendations and suggestions).
Best Regards,
