Hi Michael - Ok - I've updated the PPA with versions of the package for Karmic and Lucid. I've also uploaded the package to REVU. Our friend Mako Hill who is active in the Ubuntu community is ready to give it the thumbs up - it looks like we need approval from another MOTU. So if you know anyone, please ask them to give it a look.
Here is the package on REVU: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?upid=7797 Thanks, Amos On Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 8:33 AM, Michael <[email protected]> wrote: > We can try, I'll definitely push for it. > > -- > Michael Hall > > http://www.qimo4kids.com > "Linux for Kids" > > > On Sat, 2010-02-13 at 22:44 -0500, Amos Blanton wrote: > > Michael, > > > > We can make a PPA for 10.4 in the next 24 hours - isn't that soon > > enough to get Scratch in Lucid? > > > > Amos > > > > On Sat, Feb 13, 2010 at 8:18 PM, Michael <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > Okay, they're telling me that even Multiverse packages would > > need to be > > reviewed and approved by this Thursday.
