This page describes the requirements for uploading to PPAs, or
rather to multiple distributions at once. It is a work in progress.

autoppa is prior art that should be looked at for inspiration.

== Requirements ==

  * Alter the version number for each distribution so that they
    don't clash and there can be an upgrade path.
  * Upload the source to launchpad.
  * Be able to tweak for older distributions that e.g. don't have a new enough debhelper.

== Current steps ==

  * Change the version number, usually using tildes, the release name, and some other string, often "ppa".
  * Change the distribution target.
    - These steps can either modify the last changelog stanza, or create a new one.
  * Perhaps tweak the packaging for older releases.
  * Build the source package.
  * Upload the source package to the PPA.
