No, but you will need to upload the .orig.tar.gz source code if it isn't already in your PPA or the Ubuntu archive (explained below) >> Files: >> 113fa48e95b1919a7d315069291dcdeb 4738402 devel extra >> binutils-arm-linux-gnueabi_2.20.51.20100908-0ubuntu2cross1.50_ >> amd64.deb It appears that you only uploaded a binary packages (*amd64.deb) to launchapd. Launchpad's PPA must build all packages you upload (for security reasons, I believe), so you have to upload the .orig.tar.gz and .debian.gz files. The easiest way to do this is to pass the -S and -sa command line options to dpkg-buildpackage (or debbuild) when you build your package $ dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa Then upload the resulting *_source.changes file up to launchpad. The .orig.tar.gz is the same for all armel-cross-toolchain-base version 1.50, so it should only have to be uploaded once. If it is not already in your PPA nor in the Ubuntu archive, you will have to upload it (that is what the -sa option does). https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/BuildingASourcePackage ~Scott
