Hi, Thanks Herve. I have actually spent weeks making sure my packages passed check and build following guidelines. So I am actually doing my best and your snarky remark is not appreciated.
Then at the very end I expanded the DESCRIPTION file by putting in line breaks in the "description" field, which caused the build to fail. My bad. Thank you for the feedback, I'm running the build on my machine to make sure there are no more trivial errors.
