Packaging a Qt Application

Looking for a debian package of your Application

If you want to port a popular Qt application probably it is already packaged for debian. You can try to get the package source:

  • Adding a debian src repository in your /etc/apt/source.list file
$echo “deb http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free” >> /etc/apt/source.list
$apt-get update
$apt-cache search app_name
$apt-get source app_name
  • Checking http://packages.debian.org, downloading the following files and running dpkg-source -x app_name.dsc to decompress the upstream source and to apply the changes available in the diff.gz file.
    • upstream source file (.tar.gz)
    • package changes (.diff.gz)
    • meta-data information file (.dsc)
