Ubuntu Packages are based on the debian packaging format. Your task is to set up a development environment [1] and become familiar with the basic tools required for Ubuntu packaging.

Download a source package from the Ubuntu archive, update the changelog with a new entry and complete a test build of the package using sbuild-launchpad-chroot [2].

Once you are done describe the steps you completed and attach a copy of the build log from sbuild
