== Fixes for Extras Apps ==

Currently, apps packaged with Quickly need several changes before the ARB can publish them. Quickly is a little behind the current ARB requirements, but will be updated in future releases. These are the files that need to be edited:

=== debian/copyright ===

Replace the `Format-Specification:` line with the line:

{{{
Format http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
}}}

Change `Name:` to `Upstream-Name:`. Change `Maintainer:` to `Upstream-Contact:`.

Delete the two extra `Copyright:` lines (they have random extra text at the end of the line that looks like "</property>"). Add angle brackets around the email address in the remaining `Copyright:` line.

Duplicate the `License:` line, with an extra line between the two.
