Bug#544930: Adopting package xtux
Hi Daniel, i just saw you're going to adopt xtux. It's quite funny because i wanted to suggest to remove xtux from Debian. It has been dead upstream for a very long time and it is quite outdated. But if you are really interested in adopting it, please go ahead. I think you should retitle this bug report to ITA: xtux hence others know you are working on it.

Bug#544930: Adopting package xtux
2012/10/24 Markus Koschany a...@gambaru.de Hi Daniel, Hi, i just saw you're going to adopt xtux. It's quite funny because i wanted to suggest to remove xtux from Debian. It has been dead upstream for a very long time and it is quite outdated. Oh, I didn't know it. I think it could be removed also because it's not very popular. But if you are really interested in adopting it, please go ahead. I could guess it hasn't got a lot of dependencies, so I saw it as an easy way to start. I think will be better if I look for adopt another package. Regards, Daniel.

I've been doing the same for two months now, so i'm still a beginner myself. I just wanted to adopt etw. It's another orphaned game, outdated yes, but i guess it's much more interesting than xtux. Maybe you should take a look at it? Someone has to fix all these lintian warnings and i think it is not too complicated. If you are interested you could also join the Debian Games Team. Every help is welcome. But there are a lot of other packages which need a helping hand, too. Of course you are free to decide what you would like to work on.

Bug#544930: Adopting package xtux
Hello, I'm new contributing to debian and looking at the list of packages requesting for adoption I saw this one and I think it's a good way to start learning (and conserving the package in the archive).
