Source Package Recipes: Are They More Addictive Than Crack Cocaine?
July 30 2010
Yes. Yes they are.
I'm crap at packaging. My mind has never really grokked all the packaging things. Also, I make packages, and then they quickly get out of date as I continue to work on the upstream part, and so then there's this big hill to get over when I actually need to package it again.
Enter source package recipes. It's what Aaron Bentley and I have been working on for the past 6 months. Basically, take two bzr branches, put them together using a recipe, and make a source package (and eventually a binary package) out of them.
My first recipe got built into a binary package two days ago, but I just noticed it.
Now I want to package everything.
