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.
