Bug Description
"CoApp aims to create a vibrant Open Source ecosystem on Windows by providing the technologies needed to build a complete community-driven Package Management System, along with tools to enable developers to take advantage of features of the Windows platform." <https:/
This project is not relevant to Ubuntu, and that's perfectly fine. It's an attempt to solve, specifically for Windows, a problem that is solved in a different way on Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, the project page witters on for two paragraphs about how "Launchpad doesn't know which Ubuntu packages this project provides". It should not.
We do want package links for projects that do run on Ubuntu, so I'm not sure exactly how this should be solved. Maybe there should be some sort of toggle for the project maintainer to specify whether the software runs on Ubuntu at all.
