Getting your package included in the Repository

  • Make sure it compiles after getting your build dependancies, dpkg-buildpackage.
  • Ideally test both dpkg-buildpackage -S -us -uc, dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc, dpkg-buildpackage -B (some packages may not build any arch-dep packages, so that's ok. Microdocument it on Jaiku.)
  • bzr export <source package name> lp:~yourusername/m-r/<source package name> (gives you a checked out version, without metadata)
  • cd <source package name>
  • dpkg-buildpackage -S -us -uc, to generate a source package
  • Upload the resulting source package (*.changes, *.tar.gz, possibly *.diff.gz) to your ~/incoming on trac.tspre.org.
  • ssh yourlogin@trac.tspre.org /import-new-packages

(This will add the source package to repository, and complain otherwise)

  • You need access to merbuilder & repository upload for the following, ask Stskeeps on Jaiku/IRC for this.
  • Builder is at http://trac.tspre.org:8000
  • Follow instructions, and submit job.
