I copied that text into my control file, into the XB-Maemo-Icon-26: field (making sure that I put a space in front of each newline), but it doesn't show up. I think I did everything correctly...(I used openssl instead of uuencode because uuencode wasn't installed in either Ubuntu or Scratchbox).
Install "shareutils" for uuencode

The problem may just be in the way you're adding the base64 into the control file.

I do this:
XB-Maemo-Icon-26:
yyyyyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyyyyy
(Which, although the quote doesn't do well to show it, translates to "XB-Maemo-Icon-26:<space>
<space>base64 contents")

I'll take a look at the code and try to see what's going on; also, I'll try extracting the control file from a pypackager-built package.

Oh, and while you're there, are you interested in updating it? I've got a few feature requests...
Depends on the feature request and the pypackager code; I'm still very much a python newbie, and if Khertan's code is too advanced I won't be able to do much with it. Although, it shouldn't be too hard to add a gtk.ScrolledWindow() to the change log tab...

Ah, ha! The pypackager built deb has a "Maemo-Icon-26" field not a "XB-Maemo-Icon-26" field...hmm. I guess I'll try that...

Yes, the "Maemo-Icon-26" worked. The icon now appears fine. I just wonder why XB- didn't? Strange.

If you have to use Maemo-Icon-26 w/out the XB-, you're not making a package that the autobuilder will accept.

Then icons must not be possible with local debs? Because XB- certainly doesn't work.

Are you building the package with dpkg-buildpackage?

Non-related suggestions:

use "Architecture: all" since this is pure python application

with "XB-Maemo-Display-Name:" field you can get better formatted title, for example "XB-Maemo-Display-Name: Quickclip"

I'm using dpkg-deb --build <source directory name> to build the package. When I tried using dpkg-buildpackage I was getting all kinds of errors, most notably a "dpkg-source: unrepresentable changes to source" error; even with that error, a *.tar.gz, *.dsc and some other files were created, but no *.deb. Is dpkg-buildpackage supposed to create a .deb? The Diablo Maemo Reference seemed to indicate it should. Thanks.

yes, you should be using dpkg-buildpackage to build .debs, it might have something to do with missing icon.

I believe qwerty12 explained how to fix the problem with dpkg-buildpackage. If those instructions are not helping, I have to ask you to post the error message and maybe the whole source package here. Otherwise we are, again, just guessing
