Uploaded deb doesn't showup in N900 Application manager

Ok, after I have successfully managed to upload deb file to repository yesterday, I got into new problem.

Where can I check status of uploaded file?
All I can think of is to check repository in Application manager on my N900, but when I do game still doesn't showup (Crosswords).
I have added extras-devel repository for free and non-free apps and done repository update.

Can anyone help me with this?

Did you upload a .changes file along with your .deb?

I haven't ever uploaded to non-free before, but a .changes file seems to be implied in the dput example for non-free in the wiki.

I have uploaded deb and changes file (with same name as deb file), but I still don't see it in repository.

This is my control file:

Source: crosswordsqml
Section: user/games
Priority: optional
Maintainer: DRAX <my email @ i dont want spam.com>
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5), libqt4-dev
Standards-Version: 3.7.3
Homepage: http://drax.biz/

Package: crosswordsqml
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
Description: Game is about making words from given letters (scrabble-like game).
You get letters, and you must use them for given time (configurable) in order to not receive penalty (configurable). You define how big table will be, how many letters you get per round, what dictionary to use (at the moment only English and Serbian are supported) and many more. In other words, game is very customizable so you can adjust it however you like.
Also, it is optimized for touch screen.
You can connect different devices to play in multiplayer.
XB-Maemo-Display-Name: Crosswords
XB-Maemo-Icon-26: <HERE COME SOME VERY LONG CHAR CODE>

Also, I tried to install deb itself and it shows all that info correctly.
Only thing that I noticed is that Cartoise (app to customize applications menu and categorize apps) doesn't put my game in Games category, instead it puts in Other (don't know why).

Maybe you cant see the game in app manager because it is installed on your device ;)

Edit : just checked the devel repo from the browser and i cant seem to find your game :confused:

Re: Uploaded deb doesn't showup in N900 Application manager

I would expect to find it here:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...le/non-free/c/

What does your .changes file look like?

I will give a try (it auto-generates at each build).
