I've been thinking about doing it for ages, but I'm a lazy, forgetful bum. Which would you find most useful: Creating a standalone deb file or uploading your sources to the Launchpad build service in order to set up a PPA?

I think standalone deb. Seems more fitting for most games. A guide for the wiki would be wonderful.

I have a script written that does precisely that. However, it's on my Linux partition, and rebooting is so much work...

Wait - can you do that??

I tried to create a ppa for the io language some months ago .. and the only instructions I found told me that I needed to create a .deb first. I was not able to create the .deb . Too many steps, too many broken things.

So... are you implying that creating the deb isn't needed?

Honestly, I don't remember the process in my head, but I'm 99% sure that you don't have to upload a deb. The build service creates the debs for you.

I have similar problems with the PPA for SELÖVE. Still haven't figured it out.

You do create a deb, a source deb.
