I'm sorry to be so stupid, but i did follow this "howto" : http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...d_Distributing .
The problem is i do not want to package the sources ( all is really messy, with makefile edited by hand etc .. ) i just want to package the actual release. But this howto assume we are making a packages with sources :
I'm a little lazy about that stuff 
Some help to make a simple .deb for a release would be great since i can't find something like that in the docs ..

I wrote here some time ago a quick guide to make .deb http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=460952&postcount=2
But if you want to upload your project to extras you have to do the source packaging thing.

This means that we can't release closed sources applications on the n900 ?!
I sucessfully created a deb TNiga, but i have a little problem when trying to uninstall it, i don't understand why it try to remove the "/home/user" directory ( i did put data files in the MyDoc folder since it's around 300mb ) :

I suppose you could put the files in /opt first and then in postinst script move them to MyDocs and in prerm script move them back to /opt, then it shouldn't try to remove /home/user.

Ok, tricky but it's what i was thinking 
Else if i understand correctly to release something on the application manager ( extra devel ) :
We need a full sources layout, build the package with db_make, and upload it to autobuilder. This one will compile it again for arm then make a deb out of it ?
There is really no other way to go on extra-devel ? I do use a few libary that are statically linked, but are not available on the normal distro (neither in repo) so the build will fail ?
This is a totally crap process to me ..

If you use libraries which are not in repos then you have to first upload them to extras-devel (or ask nicely if the library maintainer could do it for you) for your app to build succesfully with autobuilder.

for the original poster: please take the packaging from debian or from earlier wesnoth for maemo port.

Hi everyone.
I've some problems in creating a .deb using TNIGa's nice guide.
First of all, X-Term gave me some errors regarding bad permissions, but I've solved it manually changing permissions to some files.
Now it's giving me another error.
It says:
tar: unrecognized option "--format=gnu"
and then, after explaining the correct usage of tar, it says
dpkg-deb: subprocess tar -cf returned error exit status 1
What can I do?
