I might be a wrong impression, but recently I got some request (not only
from eddy), to upload packages, which don't build at all.  Sometimes
with quite trivial mistakes, which could have been easily spoted.

I don't know why, but it is quite easy to test, if a package builds
cleanly using pbuilder, but somehow you don't see to do it.  May I ask
why?

I know, it's slower than just building the package, and sometimes not
easy (especially if you've never used it before), and even worse if you
want to use svn-buildpackage, too.

But since these kinds of error prevent the package from building at all,
they are release critical (beside the fact that the package can't be
build on other architectures, these kind of errors prevent the
security-team to support the package, since they can't release security
fixes).


So... we have an irc channel, we could try to organize an online
turorial about that? (Could be coupled with an svn turorial?)  Or should
I just create a wiki page for that?


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
