Hi Gianfranco, I'm trying to get rid of the last pedantic linitian issue which is the signing of the release.
I think I've figured out how to sign the .tar.gz on github gpg --default-key 7B0393D9 --armor --detach-sign alternative-toolbar-0.15.tar.gz Then I attached the .asc file to the release. https://github.com/fossfreedom/alternative-toolbar/releases/tag/v0.15 I created a .pgp file in the debian folder with: gpg --export "the public fingerprint for the debian key" > debian/upstream-signing-key.pgp However I really dont understand regex and thus I dont know how to change the watch file from this: version=3 opts=filenamemangle=s/.+\/v?(\d\S*)\.tar\.gz/alternative-toolbar-$1\.tar\.gz/ \ https://github.com/fossfreedom/alternative-toolbar/tags .*/v?(\d\S*)\.tar\.gz to something like this version=3 pgpsigurlmangle=s/(what do I do here?)/.asc/ \ https://github.com/fossfreedom/alternative-toolbar/archive/v?(dunno what here)\.tar.gz Any thoughts? thanks in advance David On 21 December 2015 at 14:33, foss.freedom <foss.free...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Gianfranco > > I've re-uploaded to mentors.debian.net > > This corrects the issues mentioned previously.
