Once you become an official developer, ^[78] you can upload the package to the Debian archive. ^[79] You can do this manually, but it's easier to use the existing automated tools, like dupload(1) or dput(1). We'll describe how it's done with dupload. ^[80]

首先需要设置 dupload 的配置文件。你既可以编辑系统级的 /etc/dupload.conf 文件，也可以使用自己的 ~/.dupload.conf 文件覆盖一些需要修改的设置。

你可以阅读 dupload.conf(5) man 手册页来了解各选项的含义。

The $default_host option determines which of the upload queues will be used by default. anonymous-ftp-master is the primary one, but it's possible that you will want to use another one. ^[81]

While connected to the Internet, you can upload your package as follows:

$ dupload gentoo_0.9.12-1_i386.changes

dupload checks that the SHA1/SHA256 file checksums match those listed in the .changes file. If they do not match, it will warn you to rebuild it as described in 第 6.1 节 “完整的(重)构建” so it can be properly uploaded.

If you encounter an upload problem at ftp://ftp.upload.debian.org/pub/UploadQueue/, you can fix this by manually uploading a GPG-signed *.commands file to there with ftp. ^[82] For example, using hello.commands:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Uploader: Foo Bar <Foo.Bar@example.org>
Commands: 
 rm hello_1.0-1_i386.deb
 mv hello_1.0-1.dsx hello_1.0-1.dsc
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux)

[...]
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

When you first upload the package to the archive, you need to include the original orig.tar.gz source, too. If the Debian revision number of this package is neither 1 nor 0, you must provide the dpkg-buildpackage option -sa.

For the dpkg-buildpackage command:

$ dpkg-buildpackage -sa

For the debuild command:

$ debuild -sa

For the pdebuild command:

$ pdebuild --debbuildopts -sa

On the other hand, the -sd option will force the exclusion of the original orig.tar.gz source.

If you created multiple entries in debian/changelog by skipping uploads, you must create a proper *_.changes file which includes all changes from the last upload. This can be done by specifying the dpkg-buildpackage option -v with the version, e.g., 1.2.

For the dpkg-buildpackage command:

$ dpkg-buildpackage -v1.2

For the debuild command:

$ debuild -v1.2

For the pdebuild command:

$ pdebuild --debbuildopts "-v1.2"
