Hi Hamza,

A PPA is a Personal Package Archive, and it is basically a personal
repository hosted on your account in Launchpad where you can distribute
packages for your apps.

The reason why the Ubuntu App Review Board is asking you for this is
because they expect applications to be packaged, so that they are
ensured to build and that they don't have to spend time on fixing
problems (which is the app developer responsibility) rather than doing
reviews.

In short, you will need to:

- Set up a PPA in Launchpad: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA
- Create a package and upload it to the PPA
- Update the feedback form on myapps with a comment pointing to the
location of your PPA

You will also find additional information here:

Let us know if you've got any more questions or if you need any help.

Cheers,
David.
