I'm at step 1: I've created a script that is useful.
Step 18,000 is: "apt-get install jeffs-cool-script".
Does anyone know what steps 2 through 17,999 are?...

What is the process for putting a package out there for everyone?

Hiya jeff
This is just my opinion and not Linuxforums.org. I would post it here in a post to let other people check it out and decide if it's useful to them. If a few people express interest in it, then maybe you could move onto bigger and better things from there.
We (Moderators and Trusted Penguins) actually had a discussion on allowing scripts to be posted in the downloads section but we're still discussing it for now, I think that would be useful for something like this.I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

You can probably host it on Google's project hosting site:
Google Codeoz

Good Idea ozar, I was going to suggest sourceforge, but I have heard a few horror stories about that route.

If you want folks to be able to download and install them via apt, you need to set up a repository and create a deb package.

MikeTBob, it's basically this script, which puts external drives on standby (spins them down) when not in use, except I wrote an init.d script so it will run on startup rather than requiring the user to execute it.
Reed9, thanks for the links, I'll check them out.
