Re: adding the suffix "ppa" to a package name

2016-03-15 Thread Alceu R. de Freitas Jr. 
Hello Cesare,
My bad, I totally forgot to mention that the changelog is generated 
automatically by the Perl module Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ChangelogFromGit::Debian 
(https://github.com/glasswalk3r/Linux-Info/blob/master/dist.ini). Of course, by 
following your recommendation I would say I'm missing something there (there is 
no option to setup version as you did in your example).

Thank you for the references, I'll go through them.
Regards,Alceu

Hello Alceu,

you lack the debian/changelog file; to create a new entry (or the first one in 
your case):
1. open a terminal
2. enter your debian/ directory in the source tree3. issue the command dch -D 
 -v 
e.g.dch -D xenial -v 0.1~ppa1
You can also edit the file manually, please see for 
referencehttps://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-dpkgchangelog

or you may better have a look at any changelog file in any package installedin 
your linux box, which is handier IMO. ;)
Hope this helps.Cesare

Re: adding the suffix "ppa" to a package name

2016-03-15 Thread Alceu R. de Freitas Jr. 
Hello Stephen,
Yes, dh-make-perl creates a debian directory and the basic structure of files. 
I customized the control file after that, but could find a way to include the 
suffix as documented in 
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Standards-Version
 .
In https://github.com/glasswalk3r/Linux-Info/tree/master/debian you can see the 
current files in use.
I upload the package source to my PPA and it was compiled without errors, but 
also without the suffix: 
(https://launchpad.net/~glasswalk3r-yahoo/+archive/ubuntu/linux-info/+packages) 

Thanks,
Alceu

Does the dh-make-perl tool not create a debian/ directory?

adding the suffix "ppa" to a package name

2016-03-14 Thread Alceu R. de Freitas Jr. 
Hello all,
My name is Alceu I'm new to this list and also a beginner regarding package 
creation.
I'm trying to figure out how to add the suffix "ppa" as described in 
https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/BuildingASourcePackage but unable so 
to do so.

I already have a PPA and created a DEB package from a Perl distribution 
(Linux::Info, available at CPAN too) by using dh-make-perl and customizing the 
files from there.
I was able to generate the package (and it passed the tests with litian and 
pbuilder) but I didn't find a way to add the suffix. Related documentation says 
that I could do that if I add a DEBIAN directory with a control file there, but 
since it's a Perl program (not compiled, without XS code) I don't know if it is 
the correct way to do it.

If you have any reference about, please let me know. Besides the documentation, 
I also tried to check other Perl projects with PPAs available for examples but 
I wasn't able to see the source from there (thus checking the respective 
configuration files).
Thanks in advance,Alceu
