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
