So here is the thing: I removed the download file (removed, not deprecated) and the posts but there is nothing I can do about the checked in code and .deb in the repo as Google Code does not allow rollbacks and removes.

Closing the project might be a way but then the link is gone too. I will look into it when I get home (I'm on the move atm).

Sorry all, escpecially my fellow competing coders. Please share your view like @jackburton, so we can figure this out. If you agree that this was not fair I will retreat from the competition.
Thanks dirksonguer I understand it was an honest mistake, and we definitely don't want you to retreat from the competition. We should be able to work something out and removing the link is a big help (which I'm just realising Im sharing in the quoted post above .. will remove..). It would be nice if there was some way to remove the new deb, the code I don't mind too much - if someone's smart enough to compile and build that there isn't much you can do about it. Hmm .. we can't roll back time so just doing the best around the Google Code restrictions to cover anything ever happened

Goodness knows you're probably not the first and certainly won't be the last to break this rule (judging by experience in the previous competitions ) But we have to try our best to keep everything fair for everyone as much as we can.
