Abstract
FOSS4G 2023 Prizren This presentation will delve into the intricacies of packaging geospatial software for Debian Linux and its derivatives, including Ubuntu, OSGeoLive, and others. It will begin by contrasting the differences between packaging for an operating system and application-level package managers. The presentation will then provide an introduction to the Debian GIS Team and their established practices for packaging, including resources for finding information. The focus will then shift to the crucial steps involved in preparing the software for distribution, such as creating metadata and dependencies, building the package, testing its functionality, and ultimately making it available to end-users for easy installation and use.
