Problems with creating a deb and using dput
I have put a new application on Launchpad, have set most things up and loaded the code into Bazaar. I’m now at the stage where I think I need to:
-create a source deb file
-upload that into a PPA on LP with “dput ppa:{username}
Debian makes a distinction between “source” and “binary” files, but my application is just a couple of Python programs, so I don’t think this can be relevant.
I have created a deb with Debreate, but I’ve no ideas what <source.changes> is, although Debreate has created “changelog.gz”.
I’ve also tried to create a deb with debuild -S -sa, but that errors with “cannot find readable debian/changelog anywhere!”
I find Debian documentation totally mystifying, each topic I read leads me to more questions to answer, or back to a previous page...
Can you help, or recommend a clearly explained guide please?
