Line 1: Line 1:
there are probably a few different sources i'd recommend to learn about packaging '''[[SevenMachines/DevHelp/Packaging/TheRightWay|Doing It "The Right Way(tm)"]]''' :D
Line 3: Line 3:
1. The Ubuntu Packaging Guide
I'd probably say this is the best place to start, it's really good! The right amount of detail explained with a good deal of clarity		 Helpful things to know when making a proper debianized package
Line 6: Line 5:
2. The Debian New Maintainers Guide
Much more comprehensive, a good read but also a good reference when you're looking for a specific explanation of something
Line 9: Line 6:
3. Source Packages
With something in the region of 30,000 packages in ubuntu, if you want to package something theres more than likely going to be similar packages already in the repository. If you can find some then why not look at what others with similar programs have done,
$apt-get source someprogram
then rifle through their packaging, see if it suits your needs, and if so, use it as the basis for your own package		 '''[[SevenMachines/DevHelp/Packaging/TheQuickFixWay|The "Quick Fix Way"]]''' :\
Line 14: Line 8:
4. Ubuntu Developer Week
Why not learn from the experts!, there will be classes to help get started with packaging (and lots of other things)
Previous developer weeks are archived so you can try them out when you have free time here		 When you only need to use packaging to do some basic handling of installing/uninstalling source code on your local machine

Doing It "The Right Way(tm)" Big Grin :)
