Deb builder gui  
Written by amiga_os the 8 May 08 at 21:56. Category: Programming. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
I want an easy gui-based way of creating Deb packages.

One of the major things that attracts people to Windows is the support Microsoft give developers - yes they charge extortionate amounts of money - but being able to do everything well, and simply, attracts developers, and helps them perpetuate bug #1.

Sun have made Java ubiquitous by making development a breeze with Java. Packaging is the single most irriating thing of developing for Linux. Particularly as there's lots of different package formats.

An easy package design system would be a firm, solid piece of the jigsaw in making Ubuntu the platform to develop for in the 21st century.
