PPAUploadTips
Once you have finished packaging your app, you can upload it to your PPA with the command:
dput ppa:myname/ppa packagename_0.1-0extras11.10.1_source.changes
NOTE: Make sure you build the source package with debuild -S. You can't upload a binary package.
Setup
If you don't have a PPA set up yet, you can create one in a few simple steps:
Activate your PPA on your profile page under the heading "Personal package archives".
Visit the page for your PPA for instructions on uploading or installing, and for a list of packages in your PPA.
Named Shortcut (optional)
You can also add an optional named shortcut for uploads, with a configuration file named .dput.cf in your home directory. This file looks like:
[myname-ppa] fqdn = ppa.launchpad.net method = ftp incoming = ~myname/ppa/ubuntu/ login = anonymous allow_unsigned_uploads = 0
With this config file, you'll be able to upload packages to your PPA using the shortcut 'myname-ppa' instead of remembering the full upload path for your PPA.
