Re: How to package applications for the outside world

I have built a little audio-related application - it's a vocabulary
trainer for people learning a foreign language.  I am thinking about
making it publicly available, maybe through sourceforge or similar...
but I don't know how to go about packaging it into an rpm or Debian
package for the end user.  It's a python script with various data
files and dependencies such as ecasound.

Any tips on learning how to build packages?  Thanks for any advice you can give.

I honestly think upstream developers shouldn't bother themselves - it's what distros are for. You should just put up one source tarball and a binary tarball (with runtime dependencies _documented_, not included, which someone can download and run from within the directory).

But..if you really want to: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging
