NAME

       setup-packaging-environment   -   helps  to  get  started  with  Ubuntu
       development

SYNOPSIS

       setup-packaging-environment

DESCRIPTION

       setup-packaging-environment aims to make it  more  straightforward  for
       new  contributors  to get their Ubuntu installation ready for packaging
       work. It ensures  that  all  four  components  from  Ubuntu's  official
       repositories   are   enabled  along  with  their  corresponding  source
       repositories. It also installs a minimal set  of  packages  needed  for
       Ubuntu  packaging  work (ubuntu-dev-tools, devscripts, debhelper, cdbs,
       patchutils, pbuilder, and  build-essential).  Finally,  it  assists  in
       defining the DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME environment variables.
