Packaging Information Needed

[daladheri]

I am interested in making packages for Powerpc repositories. I have read the Packaging Guide on the wiki and watched the "Learning MOTU" video on youtube. I was wondering what I would do to submit a package for review and how to communicate with the MOTU people in general. Does it have something to do with launchpad?

I would start by creating a launchpad account which will get you a PPA. Then you can experiment with creating packages.

Do non-programmers do well with packaging?

Do non-programmers do well with packaging?

I have done a few packages myself, nothing too advanced. It can be a little frustrating at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is OK. Here is an Ubuntu Packaging Guide:

I haven't tried this yet, but it may be helpful:
