@uekerman You can check now if the content makes sense to you and if there is anything you are missing for your part of the lecture or conflicting with #51.

I like 👍
I think this content is very important and will be highly appreciated by students.

I guess with ldconfig and pkg-condig, you will need more than 30 mins. Both are not needed for cmake, but could go into the spack/deb week?
That would also have the side effect that they then already know how to read makefiles and better understand your PETSc example.
You could also just see where you are after 30 mins and cut adaptively.

I am bit confused by the systempaths-and-librarytools_text.md file.
Most of this you have ported to the slides and could go away, right?
And the rest would go to building-and-packaging/overview.md?

Yes, I started to put content in notes which became systempaths-and-librarytools_text.md and I made the slides based on this. I was not sure whether I want/can touch the overview.md at the moment because I did not find much content from the Python lecture there. I also unsure whether the overview.md might get too full at some point.

I would say let's stick to this pattern this semester. And refactor afterwards. Notes, you can always move to _text.md files if necessary.

I moved things now into the overview.md.
