Design considerations and Tools to make packaging web applications a dream
any developers of web applications seem to live in a world of their own. They pull libraries from here there and everywhere written in multiple languages, with varying licenses. They expect the database to work the way their database does, they depend on specific versions of Java, PHP, Python, MySQL or other software and the debugging details seem to go into a black hole.
In this talk I will review some of the functionality in and around Debian which can help work around these issues, and I will try and produce a checklist for developers to consider when trying to see if their software is able to be packaged easily.
