Hey guys, so here's the deal. I have my ruby script, which I want to upload to my PPA. Literally, all the program is is a .rb file.
How do I go about getting this into Launchpad? I've already created an account and got the PPA going, I just am having trouble understanding how to get the script uploaded.
Do I have to create a package to upload it to the PPA? If so, what exactly is the package? Is it a .deb? Is it an actual "package" at all? After reading this https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading , it looks like I'm uploading three parts? (the .dsc, the .changes, and the .diff.gz)
Sorry for all the questions!

p.s. also, when creating the package, what will my rules file say if it is just a simple script? like, all i need to do is move it to /usr/bin. Nothing fancy.
