Hey guys, it would really be awesome if you could update the PPA. Otherwise, would you consider making a flatpak version? That way, if I understand the concept correctly, you wouldn't have to worry about PPAs anymore in the future.

Antimicro is an awesome app and it's the only one of its kind we seem to have for Linux. Thanks for your hard work on it.

Ill take a look this weekend

This weekend is super booked for me, so just watch this thread and I'll update the PPA as soon as I have time. I may be able to do this from my Hotel this weekend, but not likely.

No worries, thanks! :-)

Did this happen ?, can't seem to find it...

Haven't uploaded to Launchpad in a while. Had trouble generating the source.changes file. Looks like I was hitting this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=867822. Read up on https://wiki.debian.org/SourceOnlyUpload.

Then the always-great rejection messages..

Mismatch in binaryfulness. (arch) False != (files) True

Saw in some threads:

You don't need to manually construct the .changes file name like this;
and if you do, then it needs to be *_source.changes, not
*_amd64.changes.

Gah I am rusty and/or pbuilder can be strange sometimes...

Apologies for the ancient delay...trying to fix this issue with pbuilder.

Grr, looks like I am hitting this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1699763
