What do you think? Should flare 0.18 be removed from Debian?
Should be removed, yes, but 0.19 spent a few months in the NEW queue and I didn't get around to it yet. Thanks for the heads-up. Martin, what do you think of adding 'provides', something like flare-game provides flare and flare-data? I don't know if there's a downside to that, I don't have much experience in that area. Once this is done, I can remove the others. Alternatively, I was thinking on making the 0.18 versions to be just meta-packages (flare -> flare-engine, flare-date -> flare-game). Looking forward to read your opinions on the matter. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
