[needs-packaging] Packaging Request: Scratch 1.4

*** This is an automated message ***

This bug is tagged needs-packaging which identifies it as a request for a new package in Ubuntu. As a part of the managing needs-packaging bug reports specification, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Specs/NeedsPackagingBugs, all needs-packaging bug reports have Wishlist importance. Subsequently, I'm setting this bug's status to Wishlist.

There is a group of us working on cleaning up this package at MIT. Please contact the original poster and myself if you want to help out!

I've shown Scratch to two colleagues at Junta de Andalucía, perhaps this gets some traction with their help (and my guidance) :) We'll see.

Great! We've made a Scratch ppa (which I've added to the description above). Also see known issues linked below.

Scratch 1.4 PPA:

Scratch is now in Debian unstable and in Ubuntu 12.10 Alpha "Quantal Quetzal". I have filed a request (bug 1019646) to backport scratch to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS also.

That's great! I notice the bug still says "multiverse" - but probably we
should qualify for universe, since Scratch has been GPL'ed? Not sure if I
should edit that / how to proceed.

Amos, thanks for all your work on this. Scratch is already in universe as universe is where new source packages go by default in Ubuntu.
