dpkg-buildpackage(1),
which is used to build .deb packages from source.
Gilbert's presentation also gave a tour of the source directory structure,
and how to use quilt to manage patches.
Somewhere between a brief RTFM and a deep-dive presentation,
the one-hour talk attempted to provide the audience with a minimum working set
of tips and techniques to navigate the Debian package build environment.
(The title is a nod to the book Maximum RPM as well as Gilbert's
March 2000 presentation on that topic.)
Gilbert has made his presentation slides, in PDF and PPTX format, available online. Many of the slides contain links in the footnotes to various tutorials, man pages, and other reference material, that Gilbert found useful in learning about Debian builds, and in preparing for this presentation.
Bring your favourite gadget! We will have the usual (brief) round-table session, followed by a short presentation, a gadget show & tell, and then have some time for mingling, eating, and drinking.
But please, stay home if you are sick.
We will also attempt to simulcast the live round-table and short presentation over BigBlueButton for those that can't attend in person for any reason, whether snow, or sleet, or illness.
Bring your favourite gadget! Bring your latest gadget to talk about - while everyone mingles, eats, and drinks.
This will be a pot-luck snack event. Members are encouraged to bring their own food to sample and share with others. Feel free to bring your own special drink as well - just remember that we don't have a liquor license!
There is no Winnipeg Jets home game on December 5th so downtown street parking should be plentiful. One of the best blocks for street parking is Notre Dame after Hargrave. There are also several commercial parking lots in the area including right behind the Skullspace building.
The 66 bus route has a southbound stop on the same block of Donald (useful for departure) in front of the Yellow Dog Tavern. For arrival by bus, it's quite reasonable to walk from stops on Graham and Portage or if taking the 66 get off at northbound Smith at Portage or northbound King at Notre Dame.
Doors will be open starting at 7:15 pm with the meeting starting at 7:30 pm. After 7:45 pm the doors may be locked so you will need to call the Skullspace number (204-480-4092) and we'll answer and come down to let you in.
As a special bonus challenge this year, any cash donation made to Harvest Manitoba at this event will be matched dollar for dollar by Bradford Vokey (up to a total $500 limit)! Let's all chip in to make Brad donate more!
