Hi Ubuntu-dev-discuss! I'm writing small games using Python with add-on library PyGame.
I'm using bzr+lp to host the project (it's called fortressdefender). I'm really satisfied with bzr+lp so far. However - now I want to distribute my game via a .deb file, since it is the most user-friendly alternative for visitors of my blog. I know about the PPAs and how it's possible to quite simply add my game to my PPA-page on Launchpad. The catch with that approach is that I think it is too hard for end-users for several reasons: 1. Adding the addition URL to the Administration->Program sources->3rd party applications is not a day-to-day businees, many will find it hard. 2. There is some kind of integer code needed to verify the package also, even more cumbersome for end-user. If there was a way to specify the URL in the ordinary Ubuntu Program->Add/remove app', and skip the integer code step, it would be viable. How would you guys convert a "pure" python application (with the only dependency python-pygame) to a .deb file? If I'm asking on the wrong mailing list, sorry, and please direct me to the right one.
