Not a bad question at all :). We have a special package for our menu, called ubuntustudio-menu. LP project page: https://launchpad.net/ubuntustudio-menu Source: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntustudio-menu/ubuntustudio-menu To get the source, in a terminal do: bzr branch lp:ubuntustudio-menu Len did changes to the source, committed and pushed them. But, before the changes can be published the source needs to be built and uploaded to the ubuntu archive. Len does not have upload rights, but like all members of ubuntustudio-dev, he can make changes to the sources owned by ubuntustudio-dev. I have upload rights only for packages that we own (original Ubuntu Studio packages). What I do is similar to how you upload to a PPA: * get the source from lp:ubuntustudio-menu * check the changes to the source, and if they are good (I'm responsible, since I'm doing the upload) * edit the changelog so that the package is ready for release * build both source and binary package - test the binary * test the binary package by installing it * upload the source package to the ubuntu archive (the source package is the combination of the source, changes and diff files) Once the source package has been uploaded to the Ubuntu archive, it is automatically built into binary packages which are then published and available for install. Packages are published more or less right away for a development release, up until a point close to Final Release. If you want to learn how to make the changes to the menu, start by getting the source. Then, if you want to learn how to publish it, you may upload it to a personal PPA. We can help you with how to do that.
