I read about #Aleph on fossjobs.net, software to help investigative journalists track researching complex stories about corruption and money laundering.

When I find a project like Aleph, written in #Python, I wonder if it could be included in #Debian as a Debian package. A big Python project tends to have lots of dependencies, so I start with the small ones and work my way up.

I've made a Debian package for prefixdate and uploaded it to Debian. It was written by the same people as Aleph.

Unlike before, this time I managed to get a real hold of the Debian packaging process. A big big thanks to @praveen & @srud for mentoring me & @kannan. I’ve documented what I learned at https://wiki.debian.org/SimplePackagingTutorial with their help. I should specifically mention Praveen’s passion, experience and above all his patience in mentoring especially someone like me, who generally asks a hell lot of questions while learning, is just super awesome! 🙌❤️ 😊
