PPA masters -- how do I upload a new source?

Asked by C de-Avillez

I am building a new version of libpst, 0.6.24. Currently we have available 0.5.3, which is not recent enough for a new Evolution plugin -- pst-importer, transforms Outlook PST files into MBOX --.

I created the package with a 'debuild -S -sa' -- source to be uploaded. and dput it into my PPA. Build succeeded, but upload failed stating it could not find the source package [1].

This is the first step in upgrading libpst; after I successuflly load & test the new package, I will ask for someone to check the work and officially upload it to Jaunty Universe; then we will need a MIR on it.

But... I fail on the upload. So: how do I do it?

Thanks.

Can you post the output of the "debuild -S -sa" please? Also have you tried using "dput ppa -f file.changes" make sure that you have used the -f option which means force upload.

Thanks, Christopher. Looking at the ouput of the debuild -S -sa I found the upstream source to be hopelessly hosed, with a weird debianisation in place (the tarball they provide is already debianised).

Since then, a new version came out (o.6.25), and I cleaned it there, and was able to successfully build the source & binary packages.
