Goals

  • Learn enough about Ubuntu packaging to become a MOTU someday.
  • Document the learning process so others learn from my mistakes

Current Activities

  • Answering questions on LP Answers
  • Fixing simple bugs
  • Creating debdiffs for them
  • Hanging out on #ubuntu-motu both asking for help and helping others
  • Adding or editing content on this wiki where appropriate

Common Mistakes in Packaging

  • Keep lines of text under 80 chars in debian/changelog
  • Remember to update the Standards-Version (and check the package meets the new version)
  • Provide plenty of detail in debian/changelog so a newcomer can quickly see what was changed
  • The one line synopsis
