How do I add a program to apt #133

Closed KP2048 closed 5 years ago

KP2048 commented 5 years ago

I made a program. How do I make it so people can install it with apt?

We don't normally take third party packages like that, but if it's something that would benefit a significant portion of raspberry pi users, send an email to serge at raspberrypi.org

What’s his email?

XECDesign commented 5 years ago

That was the email. I didn't use the @ symbol to avoid getting too much more spam.

KP2048 commented 5 years ago

Ok

KP2048 commented 5 years ago

He said it does not meet Debian standards What are they?

Like I said in the email, it should pass piuparts and lintian. You can't assume a network connection is available. You can't git clone from postinst. It needs to be a proper source package with a dsc file. But even if it was packaged perfectly, I don't know that we can include it. The recommendation is to sort out packaging and try to get it into Debian instead.
