After experimenting with this a bit, I have to admit that I am completely lost on how to use uupdate (or whatever tools need to be used) in order to update package in the ppa to new release tarballs on moblin.
For example... I grab the latest moblin-media source package: $ apt-get source moblin-media $ ls moblin-media-0.38 moblin-media_0.38.dsc moblin-media_0.38.tar.gz I grab the latest release tarball for moblin-media: $ wget http://moblin.org/repos/releases/moblin-media-0.39.tar.gz I _think_ that I am supposed to change into the old source directory and... $ cd moblin-media-0.38 $ uupdate -u moblin-media-0.39.tar.gz uupdate: a native Debian package cannot take upstream updates That didn't work... so I am guessing this is because the last changelog entry was just straight 0.38 instead of 0.38-somethingNUM, so I change debian/changelog to make the last entry (0.38-ubuntu0), and... $ uupdate -u moblin-media-0.39.tar.gz New Release will be 0.39-1. Symlinking to pristine source from moblin-media_0.39.orig.tar.gz... -- Untarring the new sourcecode archive moblin-media-0.39.tar.gz uupdate: could not find diffs from version 0.38-ubuntu0 to apply! ok, so I guess that's promising? If I move up a directory, I see: $ cd .. $ ls moblin-media-0.38 moblin-media-0.39.orig moblin-media_0.38.dsc moblin-media_0.39.orig.tar.gz moblin-media_0.38.tar.gz moblin-media-0.39.tar.gz moblin-media-0.39 again... seems promising, but... What next? My tarball release is not debianized, so neither moblin-media_0.39/ nor moblin-media_0.39.orig/ have debian directories: $ find . -name debian ./moblin-media-0.38/debian So... I can't just move into the new source directory and run debuild.
