How do I create a wallpaper package?

Aw I spent a lot of time coding using gedit... I hope I can get this to work without having to rewrite everything completely in a terminal :/

notice the dot you're placing at the beginning.

that's actually telling it to go somewhere else.

if the folder is called mac-osx-wallpapers and is located in your home directory, then it should be like this:

cd
sudo chown -R root.root mac-osx-wallpapers/
sudo dpkg -b mac-osx-wallpapers/ mac-osx-wallpapers.deb

also, make sure the DEBIAN folder is called DEBIAN with all capital letters, and make sure to leave a blank line at the end of the control file.

you should cd into the directory where mac-osx-wallpapers is

How do I cd into the directory?

Sorry, I'm still getting used to the terminal
Thanks for helping me

bash: cd: mac-osx-wallpapers: No such file or directory
jeb@AMD-Athlon-II-X3:~$ cd ./mac-osx.wallpapers
bash: cd: ./mac-osx.wallpapers: No such file or directory
jeb@AMD-Athlon-II-X3:~$ cd
jeb@AMD-Athlon-II-X3:~$ sudo chown -R root.root mac-osx-wallpapers/
[sudo] password for jeb: 
chown: cannot access `mac-osx-wallpapers/': No such file or directory

well, in order to tell you what to do i'll need to know a few more details.

what is the name of the folder where you have the wallpapers?

where is this folder located?

[linuxuser12345]

I gave the folder to Root and I am still getting the same error message that there is no control file

[linuxuser12345]

The folder's name is "Mac-OSX-Wallpapers" and is in my Home folder.
