This manual describes the policy requirements for the Debian GNU/Linux
distribution. This includes the structure and contents of the Debian
archive, several design issues of the operating system, as well as
technical requirements that each package must satisfy to be included

<p>
This manual describes procedures and resources for Debian maintainers.
It describes how to become a new developer, the upload procedure, how
to handle our bug tracking system, the mailing lists, Internet
servers, etc.
<p>This manual is thought as a <em>reference manual</em> for all Debian
developers (newbies and old pros).

<p>
This tutorial document describes the building of the Debian package to ordinary
Debian users and prospective developers using the <code>debmake</code> command.
</p>
<p>
It is focused on the modern packaging style and comes with many simple examples.
</p>
<ul>
<li>POSIX shell script packaging</li>
<li>Python3 script packaging</li>
<li>C with Makefile/Autotools/CMake</li>
<li>multiple binary packages with shared library etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>
This “Guide for Debian Maintainers” can be considered as the successor to the
“Debian New Maintainers’ Guide”.

<p>
This document will try to describe building of a Debian GNU/Linux package
to the common Debian user (and wannabe developer) in common language, and
well covered with working examples.
<p>Unlike previous attempts, this one is based on <code>debhelper</code>
and the new tools available to maintainers. The author is making every
attempt to incorporate and unify previous efforts.

<document "Introduction to Debian packaging" "packaging-tutorial">
<div class="centerblock">
<p>
This tutorial is an introduction to Debian packaging.
It teaches prospective
developers how to modify existing packages, how to create their own packages,
and how to interact with the Debian community.
In addition to the main
tutorial, it includes three practical sessions on modifying the <code>grep</code>
package, and packaging the <code>gnujump</code> game and a Java library.

<document "Debian Menu System" "menu">
<div class="centerblock">
<p>
This manual describes the Debian Menu System and the <strong>menu</strong>
package.
<p>The menu package was inspired by the install-fvwm2-menu program from
the old fvwm2 package. However, menu tries to provide a more general
interface for menu building. With the update-menus command from this
package, no package needs to be modified for every X window manager again,
and it provides a unified interface for both text- and X-oriented
programs.

This document is intended for package maintainers who maintain packages that

themselves they can rely on dbconfig-common to ask the right questions during
install, upgrade, reconfigure and deinstall for them and create and fill the
database.
