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

  1. lintian wanted -$(MAKE) distclean in the hello rules file to be changed to [ ! -f Makefile ] || $(MAKE) distclean
