How to include a screenshot of my application in the DEB/PPA to show it in Software-Center? [duplicate]

I know how to create a DEB and push it into my PPA at Launchpad but I want to know how I can include a screenshot of the application that it shows up in Software-Center.

Solution 1:

If you want your application to have a screenshot in the software-center, it has to be in the repositories.

If you are interested in getting your package into the repositories, follow this question.

• How-To add a software to the ubuntu software-center

Once you have the package into the repository, you can follow this question to add the screenshot for your package.

Solution 2:

The Software Center pulls screenshots out based on package name from a central screenshot server, so it's the same as any other package, you upload images through the Ubuntu Screenshots site:

• http://screenshots.ubuntu.com/upload

However that site will only let you enter in package names that already exist in the main repos. If you're developing a new package, you're going to be screenshot-less until you're in the main repos.
