Starting about 5 years ago, I began moving to container-based operating systems (OS). It started with Bazzite and most recently I have been using Aurora. What’s not to love? These OS’s make containers first-class citizens, simplifying how to “install” and run applications, making experimentation and cleanup easy, and letting you use the great work of […]| Red Hat Emerging Technologies

Debian packaging is notoriously hard. Far too many new contributors give up while trying, and many long-time contributors leave due to burnout from having to do too many thankless maintenance tasks. Some just skip testing their changes properly because it feels like too much toil.\nDebcraft is my attempt to solve this by automating all the boring stuff, and making it easier to learn the correct practices and helping new and old packagers better track changes in both source code and build arti...| Optimized by Otto
