Re: [Launchpad-users] Requesting for more info regarding rejection.
Thanks for the tip! I ditched the fpm method and was able to build a source package using fakeroot command and got signed source.changes file. I have tried now at least 20 times regarding the Distribution field . What ever distro i put it either says it doesn't support format 3.0 or something or gives "distro" name became obsolete and hence rejected Error. Which distro i should actually use ? I tried lucid , breezy , jauty , main , ubuntu . Please let me know .

In general if you're using something that's very much out of sync with how most of the developers of a platform build packages for it (and fpm is *wildly* out of sync with what Debian and Ubuntu developers do), you're going to be on your own to some extent. It seems to intentionally bypass lots of the standard tools so we really can't guarantee that it will work with Launchpad at all. I guess you need to figure out where fpm gets the maintainer field that it substitutes into its template changelog and ensure that that's in the "Name " form. -- Colin Watson[cjwat...@canonical.com] ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users Post to : launchpad-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Launchpad-users] Requesting for more info regarding rejection.
Thank you for the clarification. Here is my project link. I will try to fix the email and name fields of maintainer and changed-by fields. As for changelog, I packaged my code to .deb using fpm . So I might not be in sync with what ur telling about dh and stuff. Here's my project link : https://github.com/nateshmbhat/trash-rm/blob/master/build/rm-trash_1.0_amd64.changes_backup I have also written the entire procedure of how I built the package and manpage in build_notes.md.

Please direct me to right fixes and posts related to them. It's always helpful to include the exact text of the rejection message you received. I dug through our logs and found this: Natesh M Bhat: no @ found in email address part. This means that somewhere you've put just your name in a place that's supposed to have both your name and your email address, probably either in the Maintainer field in debian/control or in the first line starting with " -- " in debian/changelog. See these references for what these are supposed to look like: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#maintainer https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#debian-changelog-debian-changelog In other words, this error is saying that instead of "Natesh M Bhat " you've written just "Natesh M Bhat". For example, when I package something, the Maintainer line in my debian/control file might look like this: Maintainer: Colin Watson ... and the end of each entry in debian/changelog might look like this (though I generally use the "dch" program in the devscripts package to deal with that, rather than adding it manually): -- Colin Watson Mon, 05 Nov 2018 14:01:42 + -- Colin Watson[cjwat...@canonical.com] ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users Post to : launchpad-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
