Hi all,

I'm currently writing a couple of games which I'd like to be able to submit to the Ubuntu multiverse repositories. Is this generally allowed, subject to wider testing and such like?

Thanks!

Why multiverse, are they non-free?

No, they're GPL, I just wouldn't expect Canonical to support them in any way.

Hmmm, I've tried to build a package but I've been here for two hours trying to figure out what's wrong with my changelog, because dpkg-buildpackage reports that there is some bad formatting on the very last line. I have thought that this might be due to a newline at the end of the line but it wasn't...

I can't think for the life of me what it might be. Maybe I'll request that someone else build this for me because I don't really have enough time to learn the ins and outs of the Debian packaging system.
