The Philadelphia Area Debian Society (PADS) (http://www.CJFearnley.com/pads/) Presents
Building Debian Packages by Example: Packaging dlkern When: Wednesday 19 July 2000, 8:00 PM - 9:30 PM Facilitator: Chris Fearnley, Chief Technology Officer, LinuxForce Inc. Where: IQ Group's Technology Lab The Constitution Building, 12th floor, Suite 1200 325 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, PA Abstract We will demonstrate the building of a Debian package by preparing a .deb file for dlkern, a package to download the Linux kernel and verify its signature. Dlkern is a very simple one file script. Therefore this session will cover only the very basics of Debian Package building. Social Dinner Attendees are invited to gather for dinner prior to the meeting at 6:30 PM at Dock Street Brew Pub at the Terminal (215-922-4292), 1150 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, PA. Please RSVP so we can get an appropriate sized table. Keysigning Notes If you want your key signed by other members and/or Debian developers, please follow these instructions carefully. To facilitate the keysigning, please send an e-mail to Chris Fearnley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the following details about your public key: * Your real name * Your email address * Your User ID, as it appears on their public key. In most (all?) * cases, this should be a mixture of your real name, plus your email address. * Your Key ID * Your Key Size (bits) * Your Key Fingerprint * The contents of your public key * The type of key (RSA in most cases) GPG users should use "gpg --export --armor NAME " to retrieve their key and "gpg --fingerprint NAME" to retrieve their fingerprint and KeyID. For PGP users, most of this information can be obtained by typing "pgp -kvc <username>". Finally, please bring positive picture ID to the meeting as well as a copy of all of the information that you send to Chris by e-mail.
