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, patchutils,
       pbuilder, and build-essential). Finally, it assists in defining the DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME  environment
       variables.
