Empower Your Users to Manage custom Debian Repository

Track: Introduction to Free Software & Debian

Type: Short talk (20 minutes)

Room: Kuthiran

Time: Sep 10 (Sun): 18:00

Duration: 0:45

In this talk, I would like to share how to construct a basic repository that allows your users to partially manage it with ease.

When I suggested utilizing Debian packaging for our CI dependencies, most of the developers declined due to a lack of understanding about Debian packaging. Considering that our image generation already took approximately an hour, I strongly felt the need to implement some form of packaging to reduce the time it takes to assemble containers.

I will discuss the utilization of CI to generate the packages, a Git repository for managing versioning (as we require reproducible package sets), and how to enable developers to easily update their software.
