It would be great if this installer was available on the official website to make downloading and playing easier. I've attached zip containing my build, banner image and source file.

odamite {l Wrote}:Thanks! It was 0.2 Windows build downloaded from SourceForge.

I know, it's already going to good way.

Perhaps I can try to get it in the openSUSE games repository, I'll see what I can do.
odamite {l Wrote}:That's already a great start! In the future I would like to Me and My Shadow in distros like Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora. I know it's not going to be easy but maybe we could somehow persuade some package maintainer to help us?
Edward_Lii {l Wrote}:In the future I would like it pre-installed on Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/openSUSE.
Edward_Lii {l Wrote}:I've already contacted packman repository.
Not the default openSUSE repositories but one almost every openSUSE user has.
Edward_Lii {l Wrote}:I'm not sure what we can do about the other distros or how to contact them?
Edward_Lii {l Wrote}:BTW, I've uploaded the installer to the sourceforge files.
odamite {l Wrote}:Official repositories seem to have long process to get packages in. And you should already be a package manager to instantly upload packages. It's long process to become a maintainer as well. After some research I found a way to bypass this. A package request could be created. I don't know is this a faster way or not because there is already a long list. Anyway here's some links:

odamite {l Wrote}:By the way, when My & My Shadow will be ready for the next release?
