OK, Well... I do not know jenkins :-) (*) I only have vague idea what autopkgtest (lazy enough not using it). I know what piuparts does but I am lazy enough not running it myself yet frequency. You do not need to understand everything as a total beginner. Put some self-study effort first, please. Read the fine manulas. > pn lintian <none> > pn pbuilder <none> > pn quilt <none> Hmmm.... I feel like "What are you complaining ... install them and leran then by your self". There are man pages and package documents. I am not going to copy them to this doc. I think you may have wrong expectation. Please read do-ocracy slides and get some idea how free software works first. These links may be also useful. http://upsilon.cc/~zack/talks/2011/20110321-taipei.pdf http://lists.debian.org/20130825075758.GA17920@goofy.localdomain http://lists.debian.org/20130826122135.GA7099@goofy.localdomain (*) But what is jenkins http://packages.debian.org/sid/jenkins https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Meet+Jenkins Out of scope for this doc for sure. > ** autopkgtest > ** piuparts These deserve to have a line or so. If you find nice one liner explanation and pointer to the right info, let me know. We welcome constructive suggestions. Please note that I can not document everything either. Please please,... bug report is not telling me how bad this document is. I wish to know clear suggestion to improve thus. As a beginner doc, I think adding more on fundamentals such as git-buildpackage features are more important though...
