Hi Emmanuel again. Thanks to your suggestions, I could upload the package to mentors successfully.
- I created the watch file and now, using uscan as you suggested me, orig.tar.gz file is built without any problem. - I changed png icon to svg as you suggested too. - I used only debuild for building the package and all the files needed where generated without any problem. - Now, using dput there wasn't any problem and it uploaded the package to mentors successfully. I have changed the flag "Needs a sponsor" to Yes in order to request a sponsor for my package. Thank you again for your help :) Best regards, Eloy 2017-06-29 9:23 GMT+02:00 Emmanuel Bourg <ebo...@apache.org>: > Hi Eloy, > > Le 28/06/2017 à 21:34, Eloy García (PC Actual) a écrit : > > > Those are the steps I have followed so far: > > > > 01.- I installed Debian and switched to Sid > > 02.- I cloned the master branch from the upstream repo in Bitbucket: git > > clone https://bitbucket.org/eloy_garcia_pca/wallpaperdownloader.git > > <https://bitbucket.org/eloy_garcia_pca/wallpaperdownloader.git> > > Don't forget to also checkout the latest release tag. > > > 03.- I installed manually all the dependencies needed from Debian > > repository (sudo apt install liblog4j1.2-java libslf4j-java > > libcommons-io-java libjsoup-java libjna-java) > > Ok > > > 04.- I installed all the tools needed for building the package (sudo apt > > install git build-essential devscripts debhelper javahelper > > maven-debian-helper apt-file) > > Ok > > > 05.- I executed mh_make (I have used maven debian helper for creating > > the initial structure instead of dh_make) > > Ok > > > 06.- I modified rules and control files.
