Unable to upload sofware

Hi Grant,

'unstable' is not a ubuntu release series. You need specify a valid ubuntu release in your last debian/changelog entry or override the release series at upload time.

Still no go and I get this message:

Rejected:
Unable to find zl1wtt-atv-controller_0.0.56.orig.tar.gz in upload or distribution.
Files specified in DSC are broken or missing, skipping package unpack verification.
Source/binary (i.e. mixed) uploads are not allowed.

This is my *.changes file with Distribution: precise added in:

Format: 1.8
Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2012 12:00:00 +0000
Source: zl1wtt-atv-controller
Binary: zl1wtt-atv-controller
Architecture: source all
Version: 0.0.56-1
Distribution: precise
Urgency: low

What have I done wrong this time?

>> Source/binary (i.e. mixed) uploads are not allowed.

That is the critical piece of information here. Launchpad does not accept uploads containing binary packages. You must upload only a source package.

To do this, you should include the -S option on your dpkg-buildpackage or debuild command line when building the package for upload.

How do I work with dpkg-buildpackage or debuild command line?

Step 1 writing my software in Gambas2 and test it to see if it runs ok.

Step 2 Make installation package

Step 3 Change "Distribution: unstable" to "Distribution: precise" in changes file

Step 4 debsign -k plus key *.changes to add key to file

Step 5 dput ppa: plus path and then the *.changes file

Step 6 then I get this Email:
Rejected:
Unable to find zl1wtt-atv-controller_0.0.56.orig.tar.gz in upload or distribution.
Files specified in DSC are broken or missing, skipping package unpack verification.
Source/binary (i.e. mixed) uploads are not allowed.

Where have I gone wrong? Help

From your description of the process you're following, it appears that Gambas2 is either wrapping or replacing part of the standard packaging tools (in "Step 2 Make installation package"). For information on how to make Gambas2 behave in a way appropriate for Launchpad uploads, you should turn to Gambas2 help resources, as it is a decidedly unusual way to be producing source packages.

As a stop-gap measure, you could try taking the .changes file that you are currently generating with Gambas2, and then manually changing the "Architecture:" line to "Architecture: source", and deleting all lines referencing .deb files.

My previous comment addresses the "Source/binary (i.e. mixed) uploads are not allowed." issue, but I've just noticed you also have "Unable to find zl1wtt-atv-controller_0.0.56.orig.tar.gz in upload or distribution.".

That should normally be taken care of by passing the -sa flag to dpkg-buildpackage or debuild. You'll need to figure out how that concept translates to Gambas2's way of doing things.
