+---
+
+## Challenge First Report: MR Feedback
+
+- Try to write good MR titles and descriptions
+- Resolve threads when comments are answered, done, or dropped
+- If changes requested: try to fix in same MR
+- Approval by reviewer: ready to merge
+- All MRs should get merged
+- You have to make usage of generative AI transparent

+
+## Challenge Contribution
+
+- Please open an issue in the [challenge repo](https://gitlab-sim.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/simulation-software-engineering-wite2526/challenge) explaining what you want to work on in the contribution. We will then use these issues to further discuss the progress of the contribution. Provide links to issues, pull requests etc.
+ - Deadline (for opening the issue): Dec 17, 2025, 23:59
+ - If you open earlier, you get feedback earlier
+ - Latest feedback from supervisors: Jan 7, 2025, 09:45
+ - Title of issue: "Contribution to SOFTWARE by USERNAME"
+ - Tag your supervisor in description
+- Get in touch with maintainers early (through official channels)
+ - Discuss before you start developing

Let us try to package the code from the CMake exercise with CPack, such that we can give the (binary) software to somebody else.

## Overview
-- The goal of the exercise is to open a pull request from a fork of [the CPack exercise repository](https://github.com/Simulation-Software-Engineering/cpack-exercise-wt2425). Please name your pull request `Add installation and packaging targets`. In the pull request description, please explain what we need to do to test your code. If you work on any of the optional tasks below, please document in the description as well.

If you work on any of the optional tasks below, please document in the description as well.
- The current state of the code is basically a solution of the CMake exercise from last week. For demonstration purpose the code is now, however, artificially split into a library `cpackexamplelib` and an executable `cpackexample`.
- Your task is to develop a CMake/CPack configuration that allows generating a `.tar.gz` and a Debian `.deb` package of the code. To this end, follow the same four steps as in the lecture (details below).
