This just came in the ubuntu-news list. Since we are going to be doing a Jam session on this topic, it would probably be good if those who are interested could attend this to get a step up on it. Plus, learning about how to really utilize the new Personal Package Archive might just be an interesting thing by itself. greg ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthew Revell <<a href="mailto:matthew.revell@canonical.com">matthew.revell@canonical.com</a> > Date: Sep 11, 2007 1:02 PM Subject: Ubuntu packaging and Personal Package Archives class To: <a href="mailto:ubuntu-news@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-news@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Want to learn the basics of Ubuntu packaging and Launchpad's new Personal Package Archives?
