[14:16] <photon2038> Hello All.   I have a few applications that I wrote and think might benefit other people.  I already managed to package and upload them to launchpad.  What is the recommended path to get them to universe?
[14:21] <rbasak> photon2038: thanks for your interest! Are you aware of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages? Essentially, the Debian path is preferred. When a new package enters Debian, it'll get auto-synced to Ubuntu (subject to the release schedule).
[14:21] <photon2038> Thanks, I'll read it
[14:22] <rbasak> We're too late for Utopic now really. But if you get your software into Debian, it should be in time for the release after Utopic.
[14:22] <rbasak> (though Debian will enter freeze soon, too)
[14:23] <photon2038> Yeah, there's no hurry.  Just feel like a waste to have invested time in useful software without ability to share.
[14:31] <rbasak> A PPA is an excellent start.
[14:31] <rbasak> To get software into the archive though, we have to follow the release process.
[14:31] <rbasak> That's a quality standard that users except from software in the official archive.
[14:31] <rbasak> expect
[20:03] <filipsohajek> Hi
[20:05] <filipsohajek> Can i get sponsorship for package here?
[20:26] <shadeslayer> Uh .. :p
[20:31] <teward> unless i'm blind, i'm unable to find what DEB_TARGET_ARCH does in Debian package building and such - anyone got any idea?  Checked manpages, checked a google and can't see it  (related: http://askubuntu.com/questions/533789/repackaging-deb-with-an-alternate-target)
[20:33] <teward> nevermind...
[20:36] <geser> I guess DEB_TARGET_ARCH is specific to binutils only
[20:39] <teward> geser: which is what i found, after the person edited their question being specific enough :)
