[mdlug] Constructing Your Own Linux and FreeBSD Packages at GoLUG, 8/7/2024 7PM Eastern Daylight Time

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

The Wednesday, 8/7/2024 GoLUG meeting commences at 7pm 
Eastern Daylight Time online at meet.jit.si/golug [1].

====================================================
Who: David Billsbrough, presenter.

What: Constructing Your Own Linux and FreeBSD Packages.

Where: Online GoLUG meeting at meet.jit.si/golug [1].

When: Wednesday 8/7/2024 at 7pm Eastern Daylight Time
====================================================

Admin/Developer David Billsbrough will demonstrate how to make your own
software packages in Devuan (.deb), Void Linux (xbps), and FreeBSD
(.pkg) with easy to understand examples.

He'll demonstrate some simple, easy to understand examples of utility
programs proving and demonstrating the build processes.

You'll learn techniques to make package making easier, faster, and more
reliable, as well as learning where the landmines lie, how to avoid
them, and what to do if you get caught by a landmine.

Some online docs on building your own packager are less than helpful
because some details are older and not always clear.  David will show
you how to to sort though some of these building issues.

It's going to be good, so we all hope to see you there.
