Hi all,
I wrote a little game in OpenGL which I very much like to publish and sell on the Ubuntu Software Center. In general I know what there is to do... but I believe I have small thinking problem.
So basically I created a .deb package by working through some pages of documentation. It'll create a package that resolves the dependencies, and installs the game along with its resources into the /opt directory, as it is instructed for packaging software for Ubuntu. I submitted that package and was told that it wasn't a source package.
And this is where I'm stuck. Eventually I learned that a source package effectively contains the source code so it can be compiled for other platforms. I need help creating said source package.
Is there something I'm missing? Do commercial packages have to have the source code? Or is there a trick to creating such packages pretending to be a source package? Is there a guide that describes how to create these packages?
I'd be very grateful for any help or comment, pointing me in the right direction.
Cheers guys!
Marcus
