Download
Download GiftWrap - both Ubuntu PPA and .debs are available.
Ubuntu PPA (recommended)
A Ubuntu PPA is available and is the recommended method of installation. To add the repository and install GiftWrap from it, follow either of the following guides:
Graphical (easy)
Go to System → Administration → Software Sources and click on the Third-Party Software tab. Click Add, and depending on your Ubuntu version, copy/paste one of these lines in:
9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope":
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/giftwrap/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main #GiftWrap
8.10 "Intrepid Ibex":
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/giftwrap/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main #GiftWrap
9.10 "Karmic Koala":
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/giftwrap/ppa/ubuntu karmic main #GiftWrap
After that, click Add and Close. Open the Authentication tab, download and save the GiftWrap key (right-click and Save As) and use the Import Key File... button to import the saved key.
After that, click Close, Reload, and just click here to install GiftWrap. Enjoy!
Terminal (fast)
Copy/paste the following into the terminal to quickly install:
echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/giftwrap/ppa/ubuntu `lsb_release -cs` main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa.list
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 207CAD03
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install giftwrap
Source code & .debs

Your seem to be a Bit off ;-)
Okay, the missing bit is back.
md5 sun? May be md5 sum?

Got this error after i tried to install the deb file from the above links
** (giftwrap:4011): CRITICAL **: Unable to find dh_make script.
Please check your installation.
Error: /usr/bin//dh_make not found.
Then did sudo apt-get install dh-make , started working
The 0.11 release fixed the dh-make issue,.
I just saw that during installation of giftwrite package apt-get want install exim mail server (exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light). Can someone know why ?
I mean: "Can someone say why ? "
I don't think GiftWrap is pulling this in. We don't have that as a dependency, and I have the package installed without exim4.
This is from my Ubuntu 8.10 system:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
# apt-get install giftwrap
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
atool bsd-mailx dctrl-tools debhelper devscripts dh-make diffstat dput exim4
exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light gettext html2text intltool-debian
libapr1 libaprutil1 libauthen-sasl-perl libdevel-symdump-perl libio-pty-perl
libio-stringy-perl libipc-run-perl libmail-sendmail-perl
libparse-debcontrol-perl libpod-coverage-perl libpod-escapes-perl
libpod-simple-perl libpq5 libsvn1 libsys-hostname-long-perl
libterm-size-perl libtest-pod-perl libyaml-syck-perl lintian patchutils
pbzip2 po-debconf subversion wdiff
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So something required mail server.
Looks like package devscripts (or one of depended packages) require exim to be installed on my machine.
And everything because lack of mailx application :)
Now is fine.
Glad you got it.
Constant error
Unable to detect the top source folder in the archive. This should be something like <name>-<version>.
"Constant error

Same problem here. I'm attempting to package a python app. The root directory in the archive is something like bla-1.0, and the archive name is bla-1.0.tar.gz. Looks like it has come up with other people as well: https://answers.launchpad.net/giftw...

I agree with everything else you just said. Maybe we are not so far apart in our doctrinal views…Peace and Grace to you
