Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : debian-package-book Version : x.y.zMechtilde Stehmann ymechti...@debian.org> * URL : http://www.example.org/ * License : (CC by-sa GPLv3) Programming Lang: (Bash, LaTeX) Description : How to package for Debian
The information in this book is of particular interest to users of the script. But also people who are generally interested in packaging for a distribution will find information in this book.
This book does not want to be a “textbook” for building Debian packages. It is more of an experience report, where the experiences have been “moulded into code”.
The book describes how Debian packages are created using a git repository with the programs from the package git-buildpackage [3] and other useful commands. Afterwards, the reader should be able to use the program as shown and the descriptions of the individual steps to build “production quality” Debian packages.
