PPA uploaders should see the command-line to upload to a PPA (similar to what is done for bzr branches)

[Muharem Hrnjadovic]

In order to prevent erroneous dput configurations and generally make it easier for users to upload packages to their newly activated PPAs it would be handy to show an appropriate dput.cf stanza

  - either on the first post-PPA-activation page rendered
  - or on the normal top-level PPA page (in the vicinity of the "apt sources.list entries" section?) but only for users with upload privileges

Ubuntu 9.04 and later have a 'ppa' stanza in the default dput.cf, which takes an argument like 'wgrant/ppa'. Perhaps just alter the documentation to use that?

[Muharem Hrnjadovic (al-maisan)]

Maybe that's the best solution .. just point to what is there already, Thanks for the suggestion William!

Right, I think it will be nice to promote the PPA shortcut use in dput because it will be also used for enabling PPAs in software-properties app [1].

I think Celso is already tackling this.
