[07:28] <midhuno> hi
[07:28] <midhuno> i am new to linux
[07:29] <midhuno> i want know about the terminel
[07:29] <midhuno> anybody helpme...............................
[07:29] <UndiFineD> midhuno: join are better to join #ubuntu-beginners
[19:03] <devkorcvince> how to learn on packaging and doing stuff in ubuntu? don't really know where to start?
[19:03] <maco> #ubuntu-packaging
[19:04] <devkorcvince> maco: the first step on contributing on application is packaging right?
[19:05] <maco> you're trying to get a new package added to the repo?
[19:05] <maco> if so then file a bug requesting it, package it up marking which bug itll close, and upload the source package to revu
[19:05] <maco> !revu
[19:05] <ubot2> REVU is a web-based tool to give people who have worked on Ubuntu packages a chance to "put their packages out there" for other people to look at and comment on in a structured manner. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU
[19:06] <maco> devkorcvince: -motu actually was the *right* channel. that or -packaging.
[19:06] <maco> devkorcvince: this channel is for scheduled classes at specific times
[19:06] <maco> (the difference between -packaging and -motu seems to be that packaging things for a ppa is allowed to be asked in -packaging but not -motu)
[19:08] <devkorcvince> maco: oh thanks how about on contributing on older package like guake or gedit?
[19:09] <maco> devkorcvince: in that case, attach a .debdiff to the bug you are fixing. the debdiff should apply to the current development release (natty) unless it's already fixed there in which case you can follow the sru process
[19:09] <maco> ...to get it fixed in a stable release
[19:13] <devkorcvince> maco: ok thanks I will ask question on -motu when im finished studying packaging and stuff
