How do I share an application I've made?

**gadolinio** · April 13th, 2010

Hello everyone. I've created a simple application which i now want to upload for it to be available for other users. How do i proceed?
Other doubt i have: i did it with shell scripts and Gambas2. Should i add some credits or refrain from naming stg? (gambas2, ubuntu). I know money is not in the middle of this (fortunately! One thing less for human beings to fight about), but credits probably are.
I'm planning to upload a .tar package, with both the executable application and the scripts&gambas project used to make it.
Thanks

This is one way.

You could publish a
- tar.gz containing the source
- tar.gz containing the executables
- deb

all at the same time

. That's the way it's done a lot of times.

Thanks for your response. I read that PPAs only accept uploads in formats .dsc, .changes, .diff.gz, and .orig.tar.gz.
I don't know any of them. All I have to upload is a tar package with everything needed for the application to work, but don't see that I can share it...
