I am in contact with the new upstream developer of trackballs. I have
filed some bug reports and forwarded a patch. He will make a new release
soon. Since the music files are now part of trackballs and no longer
separated, I also intend to request the removal of trackballs-music. I
presume that's ok with you. I hope to complete the packaging next week
with the release of the new version and it so far it looks like we can
close a lot of bugs with it.

Regards,

Markus

Hi,

I just saw your bug report by accident. The fork looks promising. Maybe
it really solves all open issues.

To me it looks like Ari is no longer interested in this package and has
basically abandoned it. I hereby declare my intent to adopt the package
for the Debian Games team.

Regards,

Markus
