EDIT:
For anyone with the same problem of the changelog not showing on the package page, here is the solution that worked for me (saves you from scrolling..).
I did this in WinXP with Madde Terminal (included in Nokia Qt SDK).

Pack your packagename-version directory into packagename-version.orig.tar.gz BEFORE you run "mad dh_make --createorig --single -e name@host.com -c gpl" in Madde.
It will say that it skips creating the orig, but that's OK.

When editing the files in the src/debian dir, make sure that in changelog you use the same version as in your .desktop file, and top-level directory name.

Then run "mad dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -sa" in Madde, and it will make:
- package_version.dsc
- package_version.tar.gz
- package_version_target.changes
- package_version_target.deb
With the debian directory inside the .tar.gz

Thanks to Nicolai

I've uploaded a few times to Extras-devel now, but so far my changelog has never shown up on the package page

Also, in Faster Application Manager, it says that it's not available..

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong, or better: tell me which steps are needed to get it to show up?
I'm using the Maemo Extras Assistant to upload packages, which asks for the .changes file first, so it's definately uploaded.

Please help!
Thanks in advance.

(debian/changelog has 2 empty lines at the end,
.changes file has 1 empty line at the end)

My debian/changelog file contains the following format:

Code:

packagename (0.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed: problem
  * Change 1
  * Change 2

 -- My Name <my@email.com>  Sat, 11 Sep 2010 18:45:23 +0200

  * Initial release

 -- My Name <my@email.com>  Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:10:00 +0200

(Unchanged after running 'mad dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -sa' in Madde Terminal)

Are you sure the changelog file is in the
debian directory?

Yes, it's in packagename-version/debian
So the debian directory is in the same directory as appname.pro and the src directory

It is also specified in appname_version.diff

About which package do we talk?
Wallpaeper?
The wallpaeper package in extras-devel does not has
a debian directory.

Yes that's the package

I've noticed that I have 3 files on the source page:
wallpaeper_0.3-1.dsc
wallpaeper_0.3.orig.tar.gz
wallpaeper_0.3-1.diff.gz

And your Calendar Home Widget has 2:
cal-home-widget_0.9.dsc
cal-home-widget_0.9.tar.gz

It seems that I'm uploading the wrong files? even though the Assistant asks for those, according to the .changes file.

I've also noticed that it doesn't matter which version I make it, it always adds "-1" to it, which is the build-version, I believe..

I'll re-read the packaging tutorials, thanks for your help so far!

I think it's solved..

On the Packaging a Qt application wiki page it said that the dh_make command creates an archive with the unchanged upstream source (orig.tar.gz).

After I run "mad dh_make --createorig --single -e my@email.com -c gpl" it doesn't make an .orig.tar.gz archive.. it makes a directory called "wallpaeper-0.4.orig" next to "wallpaeper-0.4".

When editing the debian/changelog file, I changed the version 0.4-1 to 0.4. I didn't do this with previous versions.

Then I manually packed the "wallpaeper-0.4" dir (with debian dir in it) into "wallpaeper-0.4.orig.tar.gz".
After that I ran "mad dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -sa" as usual.
No "-S" argument, because I want to have the .deb for testing.

It then made wallpaeper_0.4.dsc, wallpaeper_0.4.tar.gz, the .changes file and the .deb file.
Seems to be OK, since I see those files on all package-source pages

I'll rebuild and upload it as 0.3.1 tomorrow, hoping this will work..

Thank you very much, Nicolai!
If you didn't notice the archive didn't have a debian dir, I'd probably never figure it out :P

As you can see, it works now!
http://maemo.org/packages/view/wallpaeper/

So the problem was indeed that dh_make made an .orig dir, instead of an .orig.tar.gz arhive..

I'm also glad I got rid of the "-1" appended to every version number.. I did that by editing the version in debian/changelog.

Thanks
