FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS IN DEBIAN PACKAGING
Question: What is the use of the --pristine-tar option in Debian packaging ? |
Question: How do I sign packages with an OpenPGP signature ? |
Answer: Only the person uploading to Debian needs to sign it. Debian use OpenPGP signatures to authenticate and authorize people who can upload to Debian. So in this case, you will have to ask someone who has access to upload to review and upload your package. Once you are familiar with packaging and confident about it, you can also get upload rights. |
