Thanks Ravi,

I think I am almost there…

On step 3, when adding my deb package to my repo, reprepro asks for a passphrase for a key I created months ago and I do not remember it and it is not the key I exported to my repo.

Do I really need it to ask for a passphrase ? What is the risk ? How do I delete the old key ?

When pushing to github, I guess I push everything except .git and ignored files, am I right ?

Best regards

@Fernand,

Yes, I think so it will work with all Debian/Ubuntu derivatives..

Will this also work with Debian Wheezy and github instead of sourceforge ?

why in my distribution nor work. In step 2, when I export the key, it’s not work, It’s OutPut :
# gpg –armor –export asrilmarhamah info@asrilos.tk >> /var/www/apt/key/deb.gpg.key
gpg: WARNING: nothing exported
whats wrong?
Thanks before.

nvm, figured it out. However, sourceforge takes quite a long time to generate links for the files … much longer than they used to.
