<br>
package management". As usual, the class will be taught in the
<br>
#archlinux-classroom channel on irc.freenode.net. It will take place on
<br>
Sunday, June 4 at 17:00:00 UTC, and last approximately 2 hours.
<br>
<br>
This class is primarily focused on teaching the basic structure of
<br>
PKGBUILDs: how to read/write/modify them, handle different source types,
<br>
common errors and how to avoid them, and finally contribute them to the
<br>
AUR for others to use. Everyone is welcome to join, as long as you
<br>
follow the eminently fair rules in
<br>
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Code_of_conduct. :)
<br>
<br>
Prerequisites:
<br>
* Have a basic knowledge of bash and shell commands in general.
<br>
* The ability to use a text editor (e.g., nano, vim, emacs, gedit, Atom,
<br>
etc.)
<br>
<br>
Eschwartz is well known for his profusion of posts to the Arch Linux
<br>
Fora, Mailing Lists, bugtracker, and IRC -- basically, anywhere that
<br>
doesn't shut the door on him first. He has been an Arch user ever since
<br>
he was introduced to Linux about four years ago, and has never looked
<br>
back. He enjoys bash scripting, ebooks, and (apparently) referring to
<br>
himself in third-person.
