Debian Developer
I'd like to become a Debian Developer. ITP ideas:
- notcurses (in!)
- Growlight (in!)
- the sshfp program, maintained by Xelerance
- someone else got this, but now it appears to be orphaned...hrmmm
- Florian Amrhein's newsportal NNTP-to-HTTP gateway
- Rice University's HPCToolkit
- HP+MIT's DynamoRIO
- Omphalos
update: I became a Debian Developer 2022-03-24.
Building kernels
Up until the addition of a deb-pkg (and bindeb-pkg) target to the kernel Makefile in 2004, the make-kpkg tool from kernel-package was the recommended way to build a Debian kernel package. This is now deprecated, and make deb-pkg (using an unmodified kernel tree) ought be used going forward.
To specify the package version on the command line, use e.g. KDEB_PKGVERSION=$(make kernelversion)-2.
