Once you do it, it is not too much work. pbuilder set up for local package is easier if archive is http accessible, then OTHERMITRRPOS in ~/.pbuilderrc can simply be set as: # include my mirrors (No file://) OTHERMIRROR="deb http://people.debian.org/~osamu/package/ ./" # (Use your account name of course) Then you upload to people.d.o with dupload with simple script. In my case, "dupload -t osamu package.changes" with ~/.dupload.conf ---------------------------- # Developer account $cfg{'osamu'} = { fqdn => "people.debian.org", method => "scpb", incoming => "/home/osamu/public_html/package/", # The dinstall on ftp-master sends emails itself dinstall_runs => 1, }; $cfg{'osamu'}{preupload}{'changes'} = " echo 'mkdir -p public_html/package' | ssh people.debian.org 2>/dev/null ; echo 'Package directory created!'"; $cfg{'osamu'}{postupload}{'changes'} = " echo 'cd public_html/package ; dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null >Packages || true ; dpkg-scansources . /dev/null >Sources || true ; gzip -c Packages >Packages.gz ; gzip -c Sources >Sources.gz ' | ssh people.debian.org 2>/dev/null ; echo 'Package archive created!'"; -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
