(thanks to jamesh and others on #launchpad for talking this through) The command line syntax for dput is dput [host] package.changes ... So if you omit the host, it tries to push to the ubuntu repository. This is a bit of a trap for ppa users, because they might either submit things they don't want to have public, or they will be confused why the change they expected to go into their PPA was rejected from Ubuntu. An easy way to do this is to add to your ~/.dput.cf [ubuntu] fqdn = SPECIFY.A.PPA.NAME so it's more obvious. (People who can upload to ubuntu too will need something a bit more subtle that still lets them get at it.) But maybe a better idea is to point people at http://news.launchpad.net/ppa/introducing-autoppa from this page? -- Martin
