[01:22] <dmj726> In the long description of the control file is it possible to have a question mark?
[02:56] <dmj726> For submitting an app, what needs to be in the source package?
[02:58] <JackyAlcine_> Typical Debian package requirements, no?
[03:00] <dmj726> I've not actually packaged something new for submission before, so I'm trying to make sure I'm getting it right
[03:02] <ajmitch> dmj726: where are you submitting to?
[03:09] <dmj726> ubuntu software centre
[03:10] <dmj726> through My Apps
[03:10] <ajmitch> ok, a free app?
[03:11] <dmj726> No, my plan was for a paid app
[03:11] <dmj726> Though the contents themselves will be licensed freely
[03:12] <ajmitch> right, then the good people who handle reviewing those should be able to help when you submit it
[03:14] <dmj726> okay, I've heard it takes them a lot longer if they have to reverse engineer whatever you give them
[03:15] <ajmitch> if you submit a binary package, I imagine it would
[03:15] <dmj726> right now I've got a tarball with /debian and the source code in it, a .dsc, and a .changes file all in a tarball
[03:17] <ajmitch> ok, 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 app
[03:17] <ajmitch> I'm assuming it's software :)
[03:17] <dmj726> yeah, the only thing it requires is firefox
[03:18] <dmj726> well, it requires firefox if you don't want to browse to /opt/thepackage for the stuff manually
[03:18] <ajmitch> right, that should be fairly easy then
[03:18] <dmj726> I built the package locally and it worked
[03:19] <ajmitch> great
[03:20] <ajmitch> you were asking about the long description earlier, afaik it can have punctuation like '?' in it
[03:42] <dmj726> yeah it was displaying funny if I had a ? at the end of a line
[06:23] <IanLiu> I'm calling g_debug in my app, but it won't show. This happens on Ubuntu 12.04. Any hints on why this happens?
