I first installed RedHat (version 5, in 1998) with Oracle 8, when that latter was delivered on Linux for the first time... on a small Pentium-based computer with 600MB of disk and 64MB of RAM, hence proving to my hierarchy that Linux was ready for professional use. I started to be involved in the Fedora building process by translating documents and package descriptions, and have become a packager in 2009.

Brainstorming Section about Packaging

Using Git Work-flow for Packaging

Building Debian packages with a Git workflow using "git-buildpackage":
Keeping patches as commits on a "patch-queue" branch:
- https://honk.sigxcpu.org/piki/development/debian_packages_in_git/
Another tool for managing Debian packages with Git, "git-dpm":
- http://git-dpm.alioth.debian.org/
- http://git-dpm.alioth.debian.org/examples.html
Recent discussions on Git packaging workflows in Debian:
TopGit, a patch-queue manager:

Recent discussions in Fedora about that subject:
- http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-September/156403.html
