Hi,

        I've been reading docs and more docs for the past day and a half.  I
        think I am closer to understanding how debian packaging works and how
        launchpad can provide ppa's to users.

        I am slow, however, and was wondering if I could ask here for some
        advice and help.

        I'd like to turn this package into a PPA: 

                http://gitorious.org/~aalex/pdlib/aalexs-libpd

        It compiles clean on ubuntu and should be rather simple to turn into
        a PPA (I think).   
        I know all the dependencies for building and using it.  They are all
        normal ubuntu packages.
        I should only have to modify the Makefile so that it installs in /usr
        instead of /usr/local
        I'd also need to rename the .pc file so that it doesn't conflict with
        another one.

        How would you recommend I go about doing this?
        Can I use bzr or bzr-builder to clone the git and apply a patch?
        What about a recipe for automatically creating the ppa?

        Any tips would be helpful.   There seems to be about a million
        different options to do this.

        thanks -august.
