Package: dosbox
Version: 0.74-3-4+b1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
DOSBox upstream is dead for a long time. Since upstream is dead,
multiple good or worse quality forks emerged over the time.
One of serious ones is DOSBox-staging, which implemented testing, using
recent SDL 2, modern programming language and tries hard to solve issues
previously carried patch by patch from downstream forks.
I (and probably few others listed in [1]) would love to see working
DOSBox.
Current DOSBox due to usage of SDL 1.2 is hardly usable on Wayland based
environments, so my main motivation is use DOSBox on Wayland and
Mobian/PureOS (Debian adapted to mobile phones).
Thank you!

Done!
Once we get DOSBox-X and/or DOSBox-Staging (if you’re still working on the
latter) into the archive, we can discuss what the migration plan should be
from the current dosbox package.
