Some packages available for packaging are listed below. These are node modules (serverside javascript). Please select one and reply. We will guide you on further steps.

Steps for packaging Node.js modules is listed here https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Npm2Deb

And you can come to debian-in@conference.diasp.in chat group if you need any help.

@amalumathew can you try packaging require-directory? npm2deb is similar to dh_make command, but it does more automation than dh_make. For python, we downloaded the tar.gz file manually, for nodejs modules, npm2deb and uscan commands will download the tar.gz file (sometimes we have to manually download the tar.gz file too). Feel free to ask if any step is not clear or you are stuck with some steps.

The steps you'll need are,
```

Install npm2deb package

$ sudo apt-get install npm2deb

Create debian directory for require-directory

$ npm2deb create require-directory

Download source tarball

Usually this can be done by uscan --verbose --download-current-version

but some projects does not create git tags for their releases

so we have to visit their home page (given in debian/control)

and find out the commit for the release (from their 'commits' page)

In this case 'bump to v2.1.1' commit is what we want

Click on '<>' link to browse repository on this commit

Click on the 'Clone or download' button

Right click on 'Download ZIP' and copy its url

Paste the link on the terminal and change .zip to .tar.gz

Use wget command to download this file and give -O option to set a different name for the downloaded file

$ cd require-directory/
$ wget -O node-require-directory-2.1.1.tar.gz https://github.com/troygoode/node-require-directory/archive/cc71c23dd0c16cefd26855303c16ca1b9b50a36d.tar.gz

Now combine the 'debian' directory we created earlier to the tar.gz file we downloaded

cd node-require-directory
uupdate -b ../node-require-directory-2.1.1.tar.gz

Now build the package and check with lintian

cd ../node-require-directory-2.1.1
dpkg-buildpackage
lintian ../node-require-directory_2.1.1-1_amd64.changes
```

@arunnagathchandras can you try packaging 'set-blocking'? You can follow the steps given in previous comments. But in your case, download upstream tar.gz is much easy, you just have to use uscan --verbose --download-current-version from 'set-blocking/node-set-blocking' directory (parent directory of created 'debian' directory).

@noblephilip once the college reopens, ask everyone who gave their names for packaging to select a nodejs module from the above list and comment here about their selected module.

OK we will do..delay on series exam thata y....

Thanks for the update. Let us know once the exam is over.

Within 2 ,3 days will be there on time.

@praveenarimbrathod I would appreciate it if you could give me some system admin tasks and remove me from packaging. that's not really my forte

Sure. We can discuss Sys Admin tasks here https://codema.in/d/oA6Jd5pf/sys-admin-tasks-for-amal-jyothi-workshop-follow-up
