ubuntu sdk reports that email domain is too long

[Josh Arenson]

After a clean install of the SDK, I cannot run the template application out of the box as I receive the following error.

:-1: error: lint_maintainer_domain: (EMAIL NEEDS HUMAN REVIEW) email domain too long 'j@g.c' for app name 'mynewapp.josharenson'

As you can see, I have reduced the length of my e-mail address as much as possible, but this error persists.

I am too getting same error, and this totaly stops a person to debug an Ubuntu Application a a device

":-1: error: lint_maintainer_domain: (EMAIL NEEDS HUMAN REVIEW) email domain too long '<email address hidden>' for app name 'pk.testapp_device'"

I do not understand why The email need manual human review if i am running app locally , this dependency should be removed.

Also there are many other errors when i run my application with ubuntu touch on Nexus4 .

Could any one provide any workaround for things to move on...

I did some digging in the source code to try and figure out what was going on. The relevant section seems to begin at clickreviews/cr_lint.py:430. It appears that the maintainer email is linked to the package name. Consider the following example:

Name: testapp.nathan-osman
Maintainer: Nathan Osman <email address hidden>

On line 443, the number of components in the email address domain is compared to the number of components in the packege name. If the former is greater or equal to the latter, an error is generated. Keep in mind that the number of components is used for determining if something is "too long" so the number of actual characters is irrelevant.

I'm still assuming this is a bug, however, since this page clearly states that we are using the correct format for the maintainer field: http://askubuntu.com/a/417352/5

Is this still an issue?
