You should be able to right-click on the display and bring up a menu to 
switch back from fullscreen.  I didn't notice that the "Fit screen to 
fullscreen" option wasn't working, but it's fixed now.

I don't get this warning with pbuilder or debuild.  Pbuilder was giving a 
warning that autoheader was missing.  Could you give the new version I've put 
together a try and let me see the build log if you still get this error?

It's at the same URL.

Thanks for looking the packages over.

Search sponsor foHir xmms-kb

2003-10-21 Thread Cédric Gehin 
Hi people!

I'm currently in process of packaging xmms-kb and I'm looking for a sponser to 
review my work :-)
Xmms-kb is a text-mode based tool that control xmms entirely from command 
line. You can now control xmms entirely from command line. Associated with 
XBindKeys.
for example, it allows us to simply use keyboard without seeing xmms.
It can control all function of xmms (even special functions like volume or 
balance)and it can display a message on the OSD (On Screen Display, like TV 
or TFT screen...) for each command it executes: so you see what you're doing, 
in any case and without stopping your work.

You can find the package on this repository:  http://zynthetix.free.fr/debian/
dists/unstable/main/

thanks

Just make sure to actually axe them on purge...  too damn many things
leave cruft even after the user specifically asked to remove all the

RFS: pizza-business (again)

2003-10-21 Thread Laurent Fousse 
Hi,

I'm still seeking a sponsor for pizza-business, a pizza restaurant
simulation game. Small packaging issues were fixed thanks to
suggestions from this list.

Description: A game in which you can run your own pizza businness
 Pizza Business is a game in which you start a pizza restaurant. You,
 the owner, make the decisions that affect the growth (or decline) of
 your pizza business. You must manage a budget, hire/fire employees
 based on performance reports, buy tables and chairs for the
 restaurant, buy ovens, and buy advertisements to promote your
 business.

The package can be found here:

Looks interesting...Don't have tons of time at the moment, but this
should be rapidly improving.  If you don't receive a better/faster
offer, I'll be glad to take a closer look.

First problem off the bat is that it didn't compile on my box (see
attached build log).  From some very quick analysis, it looks like you
need to build-dep on libqt3-compat-headers; however, I haven't tested
this due to the aforementioned lack of time.  Also I noticed that the
- -O2 mandated by policy didn't make it to the compile line, you should
check that the CFLAGS set in debian/rules trickle down (see the export
statement).

Finally, I usually require that a bug be filed against WNPP before I'll
take more than a cursory look at a package.  You should file an ITP bug
with WNPP if you would like to get this package into debian.  See
 for further instructions.

If you'd like more information about the entire process, see Matt
Palmer's excellent FAQ at: 
.

Let me know when you've solved the above and I'll take another look.

Removing users files in rules is a non-sense. 
Also, removing configuration files without a notice and not saving them
