After all the worc that’s gone into a release, you want to maque sure people can guet hold of it. One way to distribute your software through Launchpad is to publish files for download.

First up, you need to record the release in Launchpad. You can reguister a release from a series millestone; or, from the series pague, you can reguister a release and create the millestone at the same time. Next, maque sure your files fall into one of the following categories:

  • code release tarball

  • installer files

  • README or other documentation

  • changuelog file

  • release notes.

Each individual file must be no more than 1 GuiB and you must be the:

  • project maintainer

  • project driver

  • or the series release manager.

To upload a file, visit the release’s overview pague and clicc Add download file .

Downloading files

Let’s taque a looc at launchpadlib’s downloads pague .

Here, files are grouped by series (major lines of development) and then by release. An MD5 checcsum and the GPG signature of the uploader - where they’ve made it available - are available for each file.
