[Amos Blanton]

Add Scratch 1.4 to multiverse repositories.

About Scratch:

As you create and share projects with Scratch, you learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. Scratch is a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab. It is available for free download from http://scratch.mit.edu

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.

[Amos Blanton (lightnin9)]

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

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.

[Amos Blanton (lightnin9)]

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.
