Package: wnpp Followup-For: Bug #971924 Owner: Matija Nalis <mnalis-debian...@voyager.hr>
* Package name : ironseed Version : 0.2.5 Upstream Author : Matija Nalis <mnalis-...@voyager.hr> * URL : https://github.com/mnalis/ironseed_fpc * License : GPLv3 Programming Lang: Pascal Description : science-fiction exploration/strategy adventure game in space It was originally both developed and published by Channel 7 for DOS in 1994. Gameplay is real-time, featuring trading, diplomacy, and strategy, and somewhat resembles Star Control 2 / Ur-Quan masters. DOS sources have been changed to make it possible to compile it with the freepascal compiler under Linux and SDL, and many bugs were fixed. Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Seed The DOS version of the game was originally released under GPLv3 on http://ironseed.net by original developers, ported to SDL by https://github.com/y-salnikov/ironseed_fpc and further improved by https://github.com/nukebloodaxe/ironseed_fpc and finally many bugs fixed (and currently maintained upstream) by: https://github.com/mnalis/ironseed_fpc (disclaimer: myself) I've done basic Debian packaging in github repo above (and package now cleanly builds and works in pdebuild in Buster), but after reading https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#What.27s_wrong_with_upstream_shipping_a_debian.2F_directory.3F I'll be removing Debian stuff from Github upstream, and recreating it at Debian as this seems to be much prefered. If anyone wants to give it a try and provide feedback, I'd be grateful! I'll be updating this bug with progress as it happens.
