When installing though the Ubuntu software center I get the following error:

It's not an issue that it is a 32bit executable, although most Linux installations are 64bit nowadays.

P.S.: Just give the Linux users a *.tar.gz would be fine, too.

2 Things:

  1. The errors Lintian spat out seem explanatory enough. It appears that the project owners compile the binaries, so they'll have to fix it. (A helpful response, I know) I suppose I can at least assist by linking the errors: bad-package-name (It looks like underscores might not be allowed), package-not-lowercase (Self-explanatory), wrong-file-owner-uid-or-gid (If I understand correctly, this is an owner permission issue)

  2. With respect to the *.tar.gz comment, I concur. Not all Linux distributions support .deb files, so releasing a tarball would open the project up to a larger audience.
