=== Submitted a source tarball (or anything other than a PPA link) ===

Thanks for your submission! We've created a simple walk-through guide in how to package an application.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviewBoard/Submissions/PackageQuickStart

Please follow these steps for your application. If the instructions are unclear at any point, it would help us (and other developers) if you ask us questions about what you need to do, so we can improve the guide.

Content

Wrong license or proprietary license

This app was submitted with the license <license name>, but looking at your <files|website> it seems to be licensed as <other license name>. Please select the appropriate license for your app, and resubmit it.

Packaging

Submitted a source tarball (or anything other than a PPA link)

Thanks for your submission! We've created a simple walk-through guide in how to package an application.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviewBoard/Submissions/PackageQuickStart

Please follow these steps for your application. If the instructions are unclear at any point, it would help us (and other developers) if you ask us questions about what you need to do, so we can improve the guide.

Submitted binary package

Could you submit this as a source package rather than a binary package? You can create this by running 'debuild -S', and send us (in a tarball) the .orig.tar.gz, .diff.gz, and .dsc files. For more information, see:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#Building_the_Package_.28Source_and_Binary.29

Submitted binary tarball

Could you submit this as a source tarball rather than a binary tarball? That is, bundle up the files before you run the build/install process, so we get the full source. If you have questions about how to do this, we can walk you through it. Contact us here, or on the ubuntu-app-devel@lists.ubuntu.com mailing list or #ubuntu-app-devel IRC channel on Freenode.

Submitted without build instructions or dependency information

Could you submit instructions for building, installing, and running the app? It looks like this will depend on the <package name> package, which is available in Ubuntu. The version of <package name> shipped in Oneiric is <package version>.

Running

Application touches system files

Your application appears to touch system files as part of its operation, however we do not allow apps to do this as part of a security policy for extras.ubuntu.com. For these applications, we recommend that you follow the steps on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for submitting your package to Debian or Ubuntu.
