Bug Description

There are some minor typo changes that need to be made to the Getting Set Up page in the Ubuntu Packaging Guide and I will be making them. This is to track the changes.

IN the section listing the software being installed and listing everything that is going to be installed the only part that is hyperlinked is Gnu Privacy Guard which is then hyperlinked again in the section

Also there is some spacing issues here as well...

The other item that will be removed is the note about since Ubuntu 11.10 the packaging-dev tools exist in back ports, seems to be in Universe and not backports will need to change it to make sure you have universe installed

Ok so a bit confused here, the page: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/getting-set-up.html, shows GNU GPG the hyperlink and hence the reason for the 1st part of the bug. However the source isn't showing a hyperlink, or maybe it is how the source looks that I'm not seeing the hyperlink.

I'll fix the other reference as well about back ports and propose that as a fix.

Unless some one can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

It is hyperlinked in the source, the link isn't specified until the
bottom of the source though:

$ cat ubuntu-packaging-guide/getting-set-up.rst | grep -n GNU
51:* ``gnupg`` -- `GNU Privacy Guard`_ contains tools you will need to create a
69:GPG stands for `GNU Privacy Guard`_ and it implements the OpenPGP standard
295:.. _`GNU Privacy Guard`: http://gnupg.org/

For reference see:
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html#external-hyperlink-targets

External hyperlinks, like Python_.

.. _Python: http://www.python.org/

In the generated text, Python will be a link to http://www.python.org/

Thanks!

Thanks Andrew,

Perhaps been using Docbook XML for too long that I didn't know what I was looking at source wise...

Thanks for the help
