Maintaining a Launchpad PPA
Hi list,
I'm a maintainer of SuperCollider, and we have our own Launchpad PPA so
that we can get new versions of the software out to Ubuntu users
quickly: https://launchpad.net/~supercollider
Unfortunately, it's gone defunct since the process of uploading to the
PPA -- or more generally, making any kind of binaries available for
Ubuntu or Debian users -- was not documented. The situation has gotten
pretty bad, and we have to ask all of our Ubuntu/Debian users to build
SuperCollider themselves if they want versions newer than what's
currently available in Stretch.
I'm very new to Debian packaging, and I'm tasked with rectifying this.
I've looked at plenty of documentation for Launchpad and Debian
packaging, but I'm really having trouble making progress.
Since the Debian Multimedia team maintains Debian packaging for
SuperCollider, I figured I'd turn to you people. I'd really appreciate
it if someone would be willing to help walk me through this process.
Thanks!
Nathan
