Hey Pete,
From experience I know that the worst part of getting a piece of
software packaged is the initial setup. Once that is done and the
infrastructure is in place it is easy to keep updating the package.
However as you have seen it can be a real pain in the bum to get setup
if you have not done it before.
There are several suites of tools to help you build packages though but
as I have previously stated I have not got a lot of experience building
debian packages (I have a lot more experience building rpm’s for work).
Don’t let this put you off though and give it a try at some point plus
now you can also learn from this thread and of course if you hit your
own problems just mail us all and we will do our best to help you.
Thanks,
Alan Jenkins
My small prog is a long way from being ready, it works for me, but for
everyone is a big jump & alot more testing to be done ;)
Then I shall start on the GUI (again so as I can say "I did that")
Then maybe once all of that is done I will feel confident enough to say
'lets give it a go' ;)
But I am a long way from that yet, and as a "rainy day project" the
problem it's designed to overcome might well have been solved by then!!

The -uc is what tells it to not sign the changes and -us tells it not
to sign the sources FYI (found in the man page of dpkg-buildpackage).

My problem was that I really wasn't sure where to turn to look for this

few days my head is spinning!
Hi,
As a complete novice following this thread wit interest, I am put off
compiling my small (but hopefully) useful prog to a .deb and will
continue to call it from a script ;(
This is a shame as I was hoping to expand my programme and and add a
GUI, more as a project for me than anything, and maybe if all went
well add it to the repo's but the world will just have to wait!!
Congratulations on your eventual success
Pete S
