Other Andrew here... Perhaps, more generally, the PPA should be updated more often. Weekly builds? Nightly seems an overkill. Attached are two different scripts I threw together. Both are designed to run from within the packaging branch with the script one directory bellow (e.g. f...@bar:~breathe/debian-packaging$ ../foobar.sh ).They also assume that you are setup for building deb packages (e.g. you have DEBMAIL and DEBFULLNAME in your ~/.bashrc) and that you have a breathe-ppa target in your ~/.dput.cf They both update the branch, build the source package with an appropriate version number (e.g. breathe-icon-theme_0.44ubuntu1+bzr50~intrepid ), and upload to the PPA. bzr-build.sh targets only one distro which you must specify when you run it. bzr-build-all.sh targets karmic, jaunty, intrepid, and hardy all at once. They're both pretty simple. Check them out, and let me know if you think they're helpful. If so, I'd be willing to make them more robust (better error handling, ect). One thing to be aware of is that they both run "bzr revert" before building the packages in order to not upload any uncommited changes. So if you've made any changes to the branch commit them before running... - Andrew Starr-Bochicchio
