dmj726In the long description of the control file is it possible to have a question mark?01:22
dmj726For submitting an app, what needs to be in the source package?02:56
JackyAlcine_Typical Debian package requirements, no?02:58
dmj726I've not actually packaged something new for submission before, so I'm trying to make sure I'm getting it right03:00
ajmitchdmj726: where are you submitting to?03:02
dmj726ubuntu software centre03:09
dmj726through My Apps03:10
ajmitchok, a free app?03:10
dmj726No, my plan was for a paid app03:11
=== JackyAlcine_ is now known as jalcine
dmj726Though the contents themselves will be licensed freely03:11
ajmitchright, then the good people who handle reviewing those should be able to help when you submit it03:12
dmj726okay, I've heard it takes them a lot longer if they have to reverse engineer whatever you give them03:14
ajmitchif you submit a binary package, I imagine it would03:15
dmj726right now I've got a tarball with /debian and the source code in it, a .dsc, and a .changes file all in a tarball03:15
ajmitchok, and debian/control, debian/rules are filled out sufficiently for building the package? e.g. you have all build-dependencies listed that you know of, and debian/rules can build the app03:17
ajmitchI'm assuming it's software :)03:17
dmj726yeah, the only thing it requires is firefox03:17
dmj726well, it requires firefox if you don't want to browse to /opt/thepackage for the stuff manually03:18
ajmitchright, that should be fairly easy then03:18
dmj726I built the package locally and it worked03:18
ajmitchgreat03:19
ajmitchyou were asking about the long description earlier, afaik it can have punctuation like '?' in it03:20
dmj726yeah it was displaying funny if I had a ? at the end of a line03:42

IanLiuI'm calling g_debug in my app, but it won't show. This happens on Ubuntu 12.04. Any hints on why this happens?06:23
