Useful Talk on Packaging Java Applications for Ubuntu/Debian

Tag: Java, Linux, Software Engineering, Ubuntu — Dan @ 6:56 pm

Came across an excellent JavaOne conference session on software packaging for Ubuntu/Debian. It has a specific focus on packaging Java software but I found it gave an excellent general insight into the process of getting a piece of software, commercial or free, into the Ubuntu repositories. The main example used was the experience of the Sun engineer Harpreet Singh who was responsible for packaging the Glassfish application server which is now available in the Ubuntu multiverse repository.

Here’s the link, you will need a Sun Online account to access the talk:
