- One or more new packages to upload
It is not necessary to GetYourKeySigned, but it is a good idea anyway. Please send a signed email with your GnuPG keyid to keyring@tiber.tauware.de. One of the REVU admins will add you then to the uploaders keyring (== Upload rights for REVU). You don't need a password to upload packages, only to log in to the website and reply to comments.

- we can refuse the package on the grounds of known security problems and design
- you must have included a copyright and licence file, and those must allow inclusion of the package in the universe component and on mirrors
- the package must be known to build on top of the main component of the current ubuntu stable release, it may require other packages already in universe

If you are reuploading a changed package (after receiving reviews), you may get an error like this:
Upload package to host revu Already uploaded to tauware.de Doing nothing for myapp_source.changes
