Discussions include establishing a clean machine, the need to reboot and launch an application when repackaging, eliminating unnecessary user information from packages- and how to handle such information if you find it necessary to include. It also covers cleaning your package, which applications not to repackage (and why). These and other best practices are discussed in detail with plans to expand the video based on future best practices and your own feedback.
