Hello mentors, I am looking for a mentor to help me get started packaging the Sugar Learning Platform[1] for Ubuntu. About a year ago I started by forming the ubuntu-sugarteam[2]. Due to the lead packager getting a new job and conflicts with upstream, the team petered out.
I am taking another shot at it. I have set aside the next six months to get our fledgling packages[1] ready for Ubuntu 10.4. We are still working out the plan of action. So far I have: A. Learned to upload to PPAs. B. Learned to create packages from scratch. C. Learned basics of patching. D. Learned pbuilder. My next steps are: A. Learn CDBS. B. Learn quilt. Short term goal: Start to sync the SugarTeam packages with the upstream Debian packages. The upstream debian packager uses some rather unconventional packaging techniques and is somewhat challenging to work with. As such, I am hoping to simplify his packages techniques yet maintain a common patching structure so we can collaborate with Debian on an equal basis. david 1. www.sugarlabs.org 2. https://launchpad.net/~sugarteam 3. https://launchpad.net/~sugarteam/+archive/0.86 -- Ubuntu-motu-mentors mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu-mentors
