In fact I have very, very little experience packaging software but I will do my best and hope that someone will help me get the package in shape once I have an initial draft.Note that the debian mentor list can help you for this (as well as the IRC channel).
Thanks I have already got some great help in #ubuntu-packaging.
I also sent a request to join the accessibility project in alioth after Samuel Thibault suggested to do so earlier today.And you are now in.
Thanks!
I am not so sure of where the right place is at the moment. On the one hand I would like to wrap up the 0.3.0 release with Ubuntu packages (because this is the platform most used by our users) by this evening but on the other hand I don't want to commit a half-baked package to something as official looking as git.debian.org - or is this not an issue?Ideally you should put your packaging in the git repository on alioth (ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-a11y/simon.git)
I would also like to keep a ppa on launchpad because this seems to be the easiest distribution method as long as the package is not included upstream.
If I understood it correctly I can develop my package on the debian git and just dput it to the Ubuntu ppa (probably changing the target distribution temporarily)? Is this the recommended workflow?
