through common tasks. He will demonstrate how Subversion can help the

with special focus on how to make your own packages.  The talk will
begin with a short introduction to Portage including it's advantages
and disadvantages.  Then he will outline how to make you own packages
by showing several examples step by step. He will also tell how to
avoid some the must common pitfalls and gotchas and give some tips on
debugging your own packages.

Other items on the agenda are:
1. Introduction of new members, news about Linux/Open Source,
    general announcements, Q&A
2. Auction

All Linux users and supporters of open source code and free software
are invited to attend this Tokyo Linux Users Group (TLUG) meeting.
Membership is open to anyone. There are no membership dues or entrance
fees.

After the meeting, we will continue chatting over a few beers.

About TLUG

of 1994 to exchange information on the use of Linux and Free Software
Foundation tools.  TLUG has an active mailing list, home page, and
