PackagingBasics

Differences between revisions 1 and 2

There are a lot of useful script and apps that have been developed over the years to make packaging .debs easier. I'll be using several of them in my session. If you want a head start install:

devscripts debhelper cdbs dh-make patchutils fakeroot lintian pbuilder

Also, it would be a great help if you can create an edgy pbuilder before class starts:

2. Install pbuilder sudo apt-get install pbuilder

3. Create a pbuilder by running:

sudo pbuilder create --distribution edgy \
        --othermirror "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy universe multiverse"

4. Wait. debootstrap is creating a minimal ubuntu chroot environment so it can take some time.
