Hi all, we are a few wannabe-DD who think it would be really helpful to have a comprehensive packaging manual covering just all technical topics about making and maintaining Debian packages. At this moment, we have the New Maintainers' Guide and a bunch of other more or less good tutorials, anyway when one wants to make an even simple package she/he often have to look at dozens of guides, tutorials, manpages, manuals etc. and not infrequently this will not be enough. So we decided to start a project aimed to collaboratively write a packaging handbook, which should actually cover *almost all* of the information required to create and maintain *most* packages, efficiently using any interesting tool provided by Debian. We have created a wiki page [1] on the official Debian wiki targeted to organize this book. First of all, we are putting together an index with all the related topics (we need your help for this too, of course). We are aware that such an effort wouldn't make sense without a lot of valuable contributions from many experienced Debian Developers, thus we'll wait for as many feedbacks as possible from themselves. Thanks in advance. [1] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPackagingHandbook Cheers, -- Luca Brivio Davide Truffa Marco Bertorello Francesco Pedrini
