I chose to do this so that the package itself had a dependency that needed to be resolved (python3-requests). The package is going to be called python3-random-quote and it does just that: Gives the end user a random quote by making an HTTP request to a well-known quote-of-the-day endpoint. I went with something very simple (but a little bit more involved than just “Hello World” to the terminal). Creating the Python componentsīefore we even think about packaging this up, we need to have a working Python application. Note: the source code for the package can be found at python3-random-quote (GitHub). This post is going to take us from the very beginning (code zero) all the way to publishing a package in a PPA (Personal Package Archive) for consumers to install and use. But as a software developer and package creator/maintainer, building a package for distribution is not quite as straightforward as installing it. For those of us that aren’t new to the Linux world, it is a normal thing to apt install. Some of the work I am doing right now has me creating packages that should be distributed to Ubuntu Linux machines.
