--- Begin Message ---Package: packaging-tutorial Version: 0.7 Severity: minor Hi Lucas, I am more or less half-way in my reading of the packaging tutorial. What follows is a list of suggestions, corrections, enhancements, and so forth, grouped by relevant slide. I hope this may be useful to you, in order to further improve the tutorial and let it become even better than it currently is! Slide 1 ------- The version number shown in the title slide should be generated automatically during the package build, so that discrepancies between this number and the package version may be avoided. In the present case, the package version is 0.7, but the title slide says that the tutorial version is 0.6, which is very confusing... Slide 8 ------- | on the developers' machine I think that this is not really correct: "machine" is singular, hence I suppose that "developers'", which is plural, should be turned into singular ("developer's"), since we are talking about the machine of one developer, not about the machine of all the developers... Slide 12 -------- | 1.0 native: package_version.tar.gz Actually this holds for 3.0 (native) as well... As a consequence, I would s/1.0 native/1.0 or 3.0 (native)/ Maybe, just to get a more uniform looking list, you could also s/1.0 non-native/1.0 (non-native)/ in the following list item... Slide 15 -------- I think that an additional step should be recommended between "untar it" and "cd upstream_source": » rename the directory to <source_package>-<upstream_version> (example: simgrid-3.6) Consequently, the following steps should become: » cd <source_package>-<upstream_version> && dh_make (from the dh-make package) Slide 35 -------- I suggest you to add a mini-tutorial on "dpkg-source --commit" and other options or commands that enable a user to manage patches in "3.0 (quilt)" format packages, without the need to install quilt... Slide 36 -------- After this slide there should be (at least) one slide dedicated to the cases where the upstream source archive must be re-packed, for instance because some non-free parts have to be dropped, or because some convenience copy of a library should be removed in favor of the packaged version. How should this be done? Please explain.
