eGreetings Gambas folks.
A comment and a Question...
Comment ****************************************
I want to pass on a BIG "that a boy" to all that
contributed to the v11 updates. Most all the emails
and posts went way beyond my head but it showed how
much work goes into keeping things afloat.

I am advising all my folowers (or folks that download
a Gambas developed app from me - in v10 or v11)
to run these three terminal commands BEFORE installing
any of my Gambas developed apps: 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt install gambas3-runtime

I also instruct that they will only have to do this once.

So far - this seems to be working and does'nt seem to
be too much to ask of the end user. If anyone has a better
suggestion on how to distribute Gambas developed software
to the "Just swithed to Linux - now show me what it can do"
crowd - please advise?

a Question ******************************************
When using the "Make Install Package" I always select
to use "General Public License".
The Install package is generated and works just fine
(have only tested with Linux Mint and Ubuntu) but displays
that licence is "Priority". This started occuring with v.11.
Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Thanks to all and have a GREAT day.
