Bug Description
I thought I'd have to compile the program for my 64bit myself until I saw the PPA. Would be great if the debs were rehosted in the download section too.
Thanks!

hi -- thanks for your interest in LongLoops. I haven't worked on it for a while, and to be honest I found the packaging stuff so confusing that I gave up on it (that is, the program itself works well, but I couldn't get the packaging right for an official Ubuntu release.)
I don't remember their being any choice for which targets the PPA would build for -- perhaps 64 bit was added since then?
Best options:
1) report it to Ubuntu as "requires packaging" and wait for someone to wrap it up for us (I already did this on Debian, but nothing much has happened.)
2) compile it yourself (it should be easy to compile it for the system on which you plan to run it once you've got the tools installed.)
when I get a little time I will do (1), but don't let me stop you doing it.
best wishes
Andrew
