thanks.
but is there a more automatic way to do all this?
if i use sourceforge to hold sourcecode, launchpad can synchronize timely. but it is not possible to use this code directly for PPA to generate ubuntu packages by launchpad automatically?

Launchpad allows to build debs directly from bazaar branches. I am not familiar with bzr and I don't have any idea how to set up that, but I imagine that it takes about the same amount of work as writing a simple shell script, the only advantage being that it is directly connected to your source. Other options would be to have a package building script installed as a SVN hook (building after every commit, not sure if it is possible on sf.net) or running it as a cron job (that is what U++ uses for nightly builds, but the period can be whatever you want).
