[Bug 798972] Re: Recommend packaging-dev

 

At the very least the latest stable, not everybody uses Oneiric yet. How
hard is it to backport to all supported releases?

I'd be happy to document it in the packaging guide.

Title:
  Recommend packaging-dev

Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide:
  New

Bug description:
  The packaging guide suggests to install a bunch of packages [1].
  packaging-dev was created as metapackage for this use case. packaging-
  dev is available in Debian unstable and will be synced to oneiric
  soonish (and backported to natty). Please recommend to install
  packaging-dev instead of [1].

  If packaging-dev misses anything needed, please let me know (or file a
  bug against it).

  [1] $ sudo apt-get install gnupg pbuilder ubuntu-dev-tools bzr-
  builddeb apt-file
