Building from source tutorial
DebConf21

When someone is new to packaging, they need to learn a bit to download a source package and build it locally, for example to fix a bug or before updating the package to a new upstream release. I will cover setting up a debian unstable/development environment and then building a package from source. This is targetting newbies to packaging and most of it is alreday documented in wiki, but I would like to provide a video walk through of the whole process, which can enhance the current text based documentation as well. https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging/Pre-Requisites https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial
