Add brief description how to generate `.changes` file

SOberhoff commented 6 years ago

Granted I'm very new to this, but I'm struggling to figure out how to take the generated debian folder and turn it into something I can actually put in a PPA on launchpad.net. A short example in the README would go a long way here.

I use cargo-deb to self distribute packages outside of Debian's distribution channels, so I don't know what PPA needs.

The target/debian folder is not in any sort of debian format. Only the .deb file is interesting for Debian there.

Also check debcargo project that generates more complete packages (with source etc)

I'm also interested in how to create source packages for proper PPA:s

This would be amazing. Here is something about PPA:s https://blog.desdelinux.net/en/how-to-upload-packages-to-your-ppa/

It requires source packages...

It's not possible to create source packages using cargo-deb, and we don't plan to support them. You'll need to use debcargo instead.

Where can I find that project?
