Packaging/School

During June 2010 the community will host an online "Packaging School" weekend which will support developers and packagers in learning to use the OBS and in packaging their applications.

There will be a tutorial (supported by Nokia - tbc) and sessions run in irc.

We hope to have expert packagers from both deb and rpm (and some of us new to the art)...

Proposed objectives:

• Using the OBS build system
• Preparing a .spec file
• Converting from a .dsc debian dir
• Building against MeeGo
• Recommended tools:
  • OBS
  • mic2
  • spectacle
  • zypper

Planners:

• David Greaves
• Felix Kaechele
• Andreas Osowski

TODO:

• Plan objectives
• Schedule: dependencies and their availability (content, OBS, MeeGo release, source...)
• Prepare content
• Prepare pre-requisites
• Arrange participation and coaches
• Dry run(s)

Proposed dates: 18(?)/19/20 June
