Hi,
This is how you do it...
For assumption , lets say your tar.gz is called Helloworld.tar.gz.
1. install dh-make as well..
2. Create a dir called Helloworld...(ensure that the name of the dir is
the name of the pkg 'minus' tar.gz (This is how it should be...)
3. The use dh-make to start off creating a pkg...
These are very basic steps that you need to know to start it off..
a good guide can be found here,
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete
If any pro can advice you better pls take it..
But Im very sure these are the basic steps.. You can learn more about
packaging from that link....
PS: From one newbie to another...
Best way= dive first then you will learn how to swim...
Cheers...
