[19:15] <droid3> I am wondering when creating your own .deb package how do you make a custom icon and screenshot show up in the software center when you click on your .deb file?
[19:25] <sudip> thanks cjwatson
[21:50] <droid3> curious guys is there away if one started hosting some of his software on his lauchpad account if there is away to set a custom icon and screenshot for there  package?
[21:52] <droid3> Show that when you open up software center and add the ppa:/urlstring then you see the custom icon and screenshot when you click on more info about the app?
[21:53] <droid3> Been trying to find a site that supports a ppa with custom icons and screenshots rather then just the description/field in the .deb files
[23:41] <droid3> ok my last step is how do i get a deb package to have a custom icon and screenshot image displayed when a person adds the ppa:/url to there gui software center front end program
[23:42] <droid3> because i know i am not going to want to go thru the hassels of trying to add my software into the main repo's for the different linux distro's
[23:42] <droid3> So i figure if there is away thru launchpad or another hosting site that gives a url that people can add to there software repo's is the next best thing
[23:43] <droid3> however two issue with which hosting site to go with if i go with launchpad do they have a way to upload your custom icon and screenshots that get displayed in the software center applications /gui package manager front ends everybody uses???
[23:44] <droid3> And the other important aspect is how to make the ppa:/url or repo location easy and accessible  to anybody
[23:45] <droid3> The big problem with not having it in the default main repo's that everybody searches thru by default is its not instantenously there
[23:46] <droid3> ANd for some people that are not as skilled in figuring out repo locations or are not aware of add repo to there gui package managers thats a big marketing hit for your software :(
[23:46] <droid3> But we cannt all have are cake and eat it to kind of thing
[23:47] <droid3> So i settle for a decent ppa:/url  and a site that has the feature of screenshot upload and custom icon upload that displays with there package manager gui app
[23:48] <droid3> So i am debating on if launchpad is the way to go ...does it have those features... and if not does anybody know which hosting site for .deb , .rpm , .tar.gz slackware ...etc that have an easy way for there package managers weather it being console based or gui based to add and download your software from there site
[23:49] <droid3> Ideally i like to reach people thru a gui based package manager like there using a software center app or such rather then a console but it doesnt matter that much
[23:50] <droid3> Only major deal is if there using a gui based package manager i want them to see my custom icon and my custom screenshots show up  as well as the deb description info .
[23:50] <droid3> When its just console there nothing visually so doesnt matter
[23:51] <droid3> so debating on what site the best for gui based package managers for various linux distro's
[23:52] <droid3> like your guys opinions i am on all day trying to figure this stuff out. So i dont have to deal with this stuff again for the next projects
