dupload?? Cheesus. I don't even know what that is.
I see that I have to describe exactly what I do from the point of build.
In the source directory of a package, I do
fakeroot debian/rules binary
that will create a file ../foo.deb,
then
scp ../foo.deb my.server.com:/var/local/debian
then I ssh to my.server.com and do the steps I described in my first mail
(as given by the wiki).
Why does it have to be any more complicated than this? It worked pre-signing.
If it can't work with signing anymore, why? And shouldn't this be documented?
