Ok i have created a home screen widget in qt and i am trying to upload it to extras devel.

I created a package using the two packaging wikis packaging qt application and the normal packaging one.

I have gotten to the point where you have to input the .changes file to the website but when i click upload it says File upload error. You didn't upload a valid .changes file.

Could some body help me edit the debian files to get my first version of the app pushed out to the world.

Basicaly i think that the two wikis are to genralised for my type of project. This is because of the abnormal style of application

First oddity my application should not be stored in the usual place. The executable should be stored in the /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/

Second oddity . desktop file should be stored in the /usr/share/applications/hildon-home/

I would like to optify my application by storing 3 images in a folder under opt. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (is this is what is meant by optifying)


I have tryed re building the package but i get errors:

dpkg-source -b proxyswitcher-0.1
dpkg-source: error: per-package paragraph 1 in control info file is missing Package line

I have jumped over many hurdles to get to here as i am new to linux, qt and scratchbox but feel along the way i have gained a good grasp of these technologies.

I feel my lack of knowledge in this area has left me not knowing what to try to fix this and maybe a good example from somebody will clarify what all the different debian files are for.

I have a feeling things went wrong when i used dch to edit the changelog. I didn't quite get how to use it because all it did was load nano but every thing i changed it said was incorrect format.

what ever knowledge you pass on to me i promise to make a very clear wiki on how to achieve this with qt once and for all. Altho i will probably need a spell checker haha.
