daedelothI'm trying to upload a ppa, but I keep getting this error:12:59
daedelothCould not find distribution 'ppa'.12:59
daedeloth(in the rejected email)13:00
cjwatsondaedeloth: What dput command did you use?13:06
daedelothdput ppa:showpad ../lsyncd_2.1.5-2showpad1_source.changes13:07
daedelothhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/12320625/13:08
daedeloththat's my dput.cf13:08
cjwatsondaedeloth: What's the "debian" doing there?13:08
cjwatson(in incoming)13:08
daedelothI don't know, shouldn't it be in there?13:09
cjwatsondaedeloth: No.  Where did that come from?13:09
daedelothhttps://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading13:10
daedelothwell, except that I replaced ubuntu with debian13:10
cjwatsondaedeloth: Launchpad doesn't support building PPAs for Debian13:10
daedelothwhat is all this about then? https://launchpad.net/debian13:10
cjwatsonThat's an import so that we can copy packages from there into Ubuntu13:10
daedelothhttps://launchpad.net/debian/+ppas13:10
cjwatsonThat's a page listing zero things13:11
daedelothoh, bummer.13:11
cjwatsonAlso, that documentation is a little out of date, the modern form is ~<your_launchpad_id>/ubuntu/ppa - I'll update that13:11
daedelothok, I feel silly for trying. I thought launchpad had debian packages too13:12
cjwatsonImport, but not building13:12
cjwatsonSo, you can build it for Ubuntu by changing to "incoming = ~showpad/ubuntu/ppa" and putting an Ubuntu release name at the top of your changelog, but I'm afraid you'll have to build for Debian some other way13:13
daedelothok, well, since I've already spent too much hopes on this, I'll try to build it for ubuntu to start with ;)13:14
daedelothso... any thoughts on how to get packages on debian? or is that a big no-no here?13:17
cjwatsonSetting up sbuild locally isn't too hard13:18
daedelothbut I want to have an apt repository where the files can be pulled from13:18
cjwatsonRight, so you'd feed the output to reprepro.  There may be some publicly-available PPA-like service elsewhere that will do it all for you, but I don't know of one13:20
