Problem with upload to extras-devel
I have got a problem with upload to extras devel. I want to upload an application for watching internet TV's. It is basically a complex bash script (placed in /usr/bin), so it does not require compiling and it runs on all architectures.
I have managed to create proper .deb package which installs and runs perfectly on my N900 (deps are just mplayer, bash, sed, wget, grep). The problem is - when I try to upload it to extras-devel, I need a .changes file, .dsc file and source file. How do I make these? I tried to make my own .changes file in a text editor and I managed to upload it, but when I upload .dsc and tar.gz ("source" I made by simply packaging the script), it says the MD5 sum doesn't match (although I did md5sum's correctly). I think this is not the proper way to do it anyways, so what is? Thanks for your answers, in advance. PS: Is there any way to do that on N900 itself? dpkg should be enough for packaging, but it'd be nice to have something more 'user friendly'... |
Re: Problem with upload to extras-devel
I don't know if N900 is enough, but when you would do that in scratchbox:
- You enter directory of your app sources (so when you would type "ls" you could see debian folder and files from you package or sources) So if path to debian/control file is /some/path/yourapp-1.0/debian/control, you should cd to /some/path/yourapp-1.0 - You type "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" and let it finish - In directory one level above ( /some/path in this example case) you should see files yourapp_1.0_armel.deb, yourapp_1.0.changes, yourapp_1.0.dsc and yourapp_1.0.tar.gz. It works this way in scratchbox and you then need to just upload these files via extras-assistant web interface;) |
