Comment 2 for bug 1022397

Unfortunately, I'm developing a computer forensic tool, so it really should be the official repository. Is there any chance of having it added in to the official one?

In the meantime, are there short, simple instructions that I can give people for adding the PPA?

Thanks,

Simson
