U++ now has ubuntu builds. how can I make my code like it, too? Should I upload my code to launchpad? currently my code is on sourceforge. Won't these conflict? My code uses U++.

Hi Bonami,

You can of course make your own packages if you register on launchpad.net. You don't have to move your code anywhere, we are building upp packages from our own server Wink

Do you have any experience with packaging? If not, I recommend you to have look at lpbuild package in uppbox nest in svn. There are some of my notes in the form of tpp documentation, it might give you some hints where to start. You should at least read the Debian packaging guides (links are in the help) and/or similar documents for ubuntu (use google...) but they are mostly the same. Launchad specific help can be found on https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging. There are also packaging scripts for the nightly builds in lpbuild, which you can have a look at, but they are probably not very easy to read.

If you need some help at any point, just ask Wink

Best regards,
Honza
