| [01:22] <dmj726> In the long description of the control file is it possible to have a question mark? | |
| [02:56] <dmj726> For submitting an app, what needs to be in the source package? | |
| [02:58] <JackyAlcine_> Typical Debian package requirements, no? | |
| [03:00] <dmj726> I've not actually packaged something new for submission before, so I'm trying to make sure I'm getting it right | |
| [03:02] <ajmitch> dmj726: where are you submitting to? | |
| [03:09] <dmj726> ubuntu software centre | |
| [03:10] <dmj726> through My Apps | |
| [03:10] <ajmitch> ok, a free app? | |
| [03:11] <dmj726> No, my plan was for a paid app | |

| [03:11] <dmj726> Though the contents themselves will be licensed freely | |
| [03:12] <ajmitch> right, then the good people who handle reviewing those should be able to help when you submit it | |
| [03:14] <dmj726> okay, I've heard it takes them a lot longer if they have to reverse engineer whatever you give them | |
| [03:15] <ajmitch> if you submit a binary package, I imagine it would | |
| [03:15] <dmj726> right now I've got a tarball with /debian and the source code in it, a .dsc, and a .changes file all in a tarball | |
| [03:17] <ajmitch> ok, and debian/control, debian/rules are filled out sufficiently for building the package? e.g. you have all build-dependencies listed that you know of, and debian/rules can build the app | |
| [03:17] <ajmitch> I'm assuming it's software :) | |
| [03:17] <dmj726> yeah, the only thing it requires is firefox | |
| [03:18] <dmj726> well, it requires firefox if you don't want to browse to /opt/thepackage for the stuff manually | |
| [03:18] <ajmitch> right, that should be fairly easy then | |
| [03:18] <dmj726> I built the package locally and it worked | |
| [03:19] <ajmitch> great | |
| [03:20] <ajmitch> you were asking about the long description earlier, afaik it can have punctuation like '?' in it | |
| [03:42] <dmj726> yeah it was displaying funny if I had a ? at the end of a line | |

| [06:23] <IanLiu> I'm calling g_debug in my app, but it won't show. This happens on Ubuntu 12.04. Any hints on why this happens? | |
