NAME

       setup-packaging-environment - helps one 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.
