With my Tanglu hat on: Joining the GNOME team is one of the best things you can do to help! This will benefit Debian (and indirectly Tanglu), help you in learning the practices of the Debian-GNOME team and create better packages, and it will help Tanglu because you can provide new packages earlier to Tanglu, and the GNOME-Team because they can see how something performs on Tanglu (and get some more testing before a new Debian release).

Roelof Why not asking on the team mailing list? All teams *I* know (gnome packaging does not belong to the lists I'm reading) are happy if there are newcomers sending an introduction and asking for help.

In particular the New Maintainers Guide is very useful, as is Lucas' Packaging Tutorial. Moving on from them you'll want to get a basic understanding of the Debian Policy [2]. Also if you want information on what the particular Debhelper commands do... Best bet is to look at there repsective manpages. Hope that is of some help to you.

Hello, Im trying to learn myself the debian way of packaging. My ultimate goal is to become the gnome maintainer of Tanglu. Now I wonder where detailed information can be found about the packaging helpers dh and dh7 ? Roelof
