This month we have a talk by Brendan O'Dea, the Debian Perl maintainer,
who will be covering intricacies of "Packaging Perl for Debian". The talk deals
with things like getting perl-policy into the policy process properly,
interaction with other programs, debconf for instance and apt's occaisionally
bizzare conflict resolution system (specifically upgrade issues from the
previous packages). Some discussion on the actual mechanics of the packaging,
source formats/patch management upstream issues... and anything he can think
of which may be of interest to other developers.
Here are the gritty details:
Where: Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel - boardroom (upstairs)
When: Wednesday, 11th July 19:00 (food from 18:30)
Cost: $0,
$10 if you pre-order tea/coffee
Misc: Dinner, alcohol are available
Fasc: Boardroom, power, whiteboard - possibly a TV
There is secure-ish parking at the Domain Car Park and street/lot
parking around the two pubs.
