The Debian Packaging System (Debian,
Ubuntu, Knoppix, Fink, Mint, gNewSense)
The Debian packaging system is much more than dpkg and apt-get. There are
many other features and utilities which can make life easier and more
enjoyable for the casual user and the sysadmin. These tools apply not only
to Debian, but to other distributions using the dpkg/APT packaging system
such as Ubuntu and Fink.
This talk will begin by explaining some nomenclature and concepts behind
the Debian packaging system, then move to advanced usage of the basic tools
and finally a summary of other related utilities.
