Hi all, As Daniel recently announce, the new Sphinx-based Ubuntu Packaging Guide [0] has recently reached a major milestone. It is now fully translated and available in Spanish. [1] Good progress is currently being made on making it available in other languages as well. [2] Another major milestone is on the horizon. We are about to take the next step in phasing out the old wiki-based packaging guide completely.
At UDS-R, it was decided that the new guide has reached a mature enough state to officially deprecate the wiki-based guide. [3] The current plan is to: 1) Send a last-call anouncement to ubuntu-devel requesting bug reports about any missing material. Announce steps 2 and 3 will take place after one month. 2) Move the entire PackagingGuide wiki namespace en masse to PackagingGuideDeprecated. 3) Redirect wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide to developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/ 4) After six months (one full development cycle) PackagingGuideDeprecated will be deleted. This is the mail referred to in step 1. In one month, I will move the entire PackagingGuide wiki namespace enmass to PackagingGuideDeprecated and set up a redirect. If you feel that there are any critical pieces of information that are missing from the Sphinx-based Ubuntu Packaging Guide, now is the time to file bugs (and provide patches). [4] Many thanks to all the contributors who have helped to get the Ubuntu Packaging Guide in such great shape!
