Hi, A few days ago, we had a discussion about a packaging-dev meta package. The responses were between neutral and positive. Therefore I created a initial draft [1] and tried to incorporate all suggestions made in the discussion.
The list looks currently like this:
Depends: build-essential,
debhelper,
devscripts,
dput | dupload,
lintian,
pbuilder | cowbuilder | sbuild,
quilt,
${misc:Depends}
Recommends: apt-file,
autoconf,
automake,
autotools-dev,
bzr-builddeb,
cdbs,
cmake,
debian-policy,
developers-reference,
git-buildpackage,
gnupg,
libtool,
piuparts,
svn-buildpackage,
${vendor-specific:Recommends}
Suggests: dh-make
${vendor-specific:Recommends} will be evaluated to "ubuntu-dev-tools" on
Ubuntu.
Please let me know if there is something missing, should be demoted, or
removed.
This package is just for packaging, not for developing. So gdb, pylint
and co. won't go into it. This package should be installed by packagers.
No other package should depend or build-depend on packaging-dev.
