[17:02] <leothecat> hey! what would I do if I wanted to add a package to the ubuntu repos, but already have a deb? :)
[17:03] <tumbleweed> leothecat: everything in Ubuntu is built from source, so you need a debian source package, rather than a deb (the source package builds debs)
[17:03] <leothecat> ah okay.

[17:05] <tumbleweed> I'd recommend adding it to Debian, rather than Ubuntu directly, though
[17:06] <leothecat> hmm. will look into it, thanks :)
