Your first point (a ubuntu-packagers package) is currently discussed on debian-devel [1]. So the only line command will probably look like this:
$ sudo apt-get install packaging-dev && setup-packaging-environment [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/05/msg01034.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Packaging Guide Team, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Packaging Guide. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/788137 Title: provide a ubuntu-packagers package and a "setup wizard" Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide: Invalid Status in “ubuntu-dev-tools” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Firstly, I'm really impressed with the packaging guide! But reading http://people.canonical.com/~dholbach/packaging-guide/html/getting- set-up.html made me wonder... Why don't we provide a package called "ubuntu-packager" (or similar) such that the user can do this: $ sudo apt-get -y install ubuntu-packager && ubuntu-packager-setup ...where: - the "ubuntu-packager" package would be a meta-package that installs the required packages: gnupg pbuilder ubuntu-dev-tools bzr-builddeb apt-file - the ubuntu-packager-setup would be a script (shell / python) that would essentially be a command-line wizard that would do everything mentioned in the "getting-set-up" page: it would check to see if the user has any gpg keys. If so, it would present a menu and ask the user which they want to use for packaging. If they don't have any keys, it would run "gpg --gen-key", etc, etc. Note that this idea is in no way at odds with having the packaging guide, but I think it would lower the "barrier to entry" for newby packagers still further, which has to be a good thing IMHO :-) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-packaging-guide-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-packaging-guide-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
