I certainly wouldn't mind some help. As Jon mentions there are some DFSG issues. I'm now an upstream and am resolving them as best I can, while providing my packages. In a nutshell these are the issues that it faces, so you know what I could use a hand with. * DFSG issues with the jHeretic plugin (almost finished reimplementing this, so it should be resolved upstream soon) * DFSG issues with the jHexen plugin (This is a bit more involved work for reimplementation) * It is not 64bit clean. We could use a hand with that. * Freedoom is not supported. We do not support enough Boom/MBF features yet to run this excellent free iwad. * We need to be able to use an external glbsp, if available, otherwise fall back to the internal version. * Packaging need to be re-worked. It should look like this: deng-dev (for building plugins) deng (the engine) deng-plugin-jdoom (GPL plugin) deng-plugin-jheretic (Not DFSG Free - should be in a 3rd party repo) deng-plugin-jhexen (Not DFSG Free - should be in a 3rd party repo) There will be other plugins that are not listed. * It should be a smooth upgrade from the existing 3rd party repository * It needs the snowberry launcher (python/wxwidgets) to be packaged. I currently have no plans to submit an ITP on this while resolving the DFSG issues if I am the sole maintainer. I would submit the ITP after the DFSG issues are resolved, or if anyone would like to co-maintain it with me.
