Hello Matthias,thank you for your proposition. I would love giving some help at such a workshop./me using gbp and cowbuilder, and eventually a few hand-brewed scripts. Best regards, Georges.
Hi Georges,thanks for volunteering :) At our workshop we used "current best practice" to not confuse people any more by gbp vs. bare debian folder and sbuild vs. pbuilder vs. cowbuilder. I think most people agree on GBP simply because it abstracts away some things that is good for newcomers (automatically generation the changelogs). In a similar fashion I think sbuild is good insofar the setup from trixie onwards is pretty simple (apt install sbuild; sbuild --no-clean-source) (which includes piuparts and linitian).
The more experienced packagers at the workshop the better, so we can individually help people.
best, werdahias
