so i never knew this,
and feel really silly having used #debian-based distros for ~6 years before once finding out how you're "supposed" to make a deb
It took me *incredibly* long to find this but,
here are the docs you need to read to package applications for the #ubuntutouch "OpenStore"
#ubuntutouch can also install regular deb packages just fine
but it appears having them packaged for OpenStore is a good way to signal to end users you tested them to open up correctly in Mir without crashing first.
(a big problem with most graphical programs right now)
@Valenoern hello, this post appears on my timeline. There is no such thing in "being too late to learn". Nice sharing, thanks.
If you don't mind, I suggest you to read this https://askubuntu.com/questions/1345/what-is-the-simplest-debian-packaging-guide and please read my answer there also.
That's a simplest Debian packaging guide I have ever seen in my life.
"how did you make debs until now?"
i looked up some instructions that basically reverse-engineered a simple deb,
and made a shell script that used dpkg-deb to shove my compiled files and some metadata into a binary package
