Log
Date(2008-01-27T18:45:57Z)BR Well I finally decided to bite the bullet and get started. First up is reading. I'll keep a record of everything I read in the table above.
Date(2008-01-30T02:04:06Z)BR I read through the sections of the Pbuilder documentation that seemed relevant for getting started as a MOTU. I skipped the sections on ccache, multiple pbuilders, and the section on older ubuntu releases. Up next is the packing guide which includes examples of common MOTU tasks. As I go though it, I'll make a note of additional documentation that would be helpful to read.
Date(2008-02-01T18:32:03Z)BR I am currently reading through the Ubuntu PackagingGuide. This guide has a ton of information in it. I also added a few potential projects to test my packaging knowledge.
Notes
lintian wanted -$(MAKE) distclean in the hello rules file to be changed to [ ! -f Makefile ] || $(MAKE) distclean
- The rules file for hello-dehelper package weren't exactly the same as those described in the packaging guide, but it didn't seem to be a problem.
Potential Projects
- Upgrade the hello package to a new version with a Ubuntu specific change.
[http://www.lemis.com/grog/brewing/temperature-control.html Tempcontrol]
- Get it to compile on Linux. It currently compiles on BSD. I will definitely need help on this.
- Package it
[http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/ rdiff-backup] package for release from the stable branch
- Development version already exists in Ubuntu/Debian
- Rename the package to avoid conflicts with existing package
