I've been writing Rust full-time with a small team for over a year now. Throughout, I've lamented the lack of clear best practices around defining error types. One day, I'd love to write up my journey and enumerate the various strategies I've both seen and tried. Today is not that day.

Today, I want to reply to a blog post that almost perfectly summarised my current practice.

Go read it; I'll wait!

These are my personal notes on how to handle Debian packaging best locally. Naturally they aren't authoritative, and I may have "missed a memo" - if so, let me know!

New package
- git init
- gbp import-orig ...
- debmake
Clean up and edit
- cme edit dpkg

Prebase

git-prebase improves on 'git rebase -i' by adding information per commit regarding which files it touched.

Each file gets an alpha-numeric identifier at a particular column, a list of which appears below the commit list. (The identifiers wrap around after the 62nd file)
Commits can be moved up and down safely (without conflicts) as long as their columns don't clash (they did not touch the same file).

Installation

Add the executable to your path and git will automatically expose it as

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	set -fu

	destination="${1:-""}"
	port="${2:-"8122"}"
	timeout="${3:-""}" # this will auto-terminate the azure bastion tunnel after this many seconds
	azure_bastion_opts=""

	"""
	This python script will find flatpak deduplication size stats.
	Made with :heart: by powpingdone#3611, or just powpingdone on github.
	Explaination for output:

	'no dedupe': The size that the ostree repository would take up if files were not deduplicated.
	'dedupe': The actual size of the ostree repository.
	'singlet': The size of all files that are referenced once.
	'orphan': The size of all files not referenced (ie, only one hard link).

	# Put this function to your .bashrc file.
	# Usage: mv oldfilename
	# If you call mv without the second parameter it will prompt you to edit the filename on command line.
	# Original mv is called when it's called with more than one argument.
	# It's useful when you want to change just a few letters in a long name.
