Package: lgeneral
Version: 1.1.1-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
In its current state LGeneral is unusable for almost all users.
* The version shipped with Debian was released in 2004 and is
completely outdated despite the fact that upstream is active and
released version 1.2.3 in April 2012.
* The converter lgc-pg, which is needed to convert game data of
Panzer General was removed in 2011. [1]
This means there is no available game data for LGeneral in Testing
at the moment.
I intend to adopt LGeneral on behalf of the Debian Games
Team [2] and would like to reintroduce lgc-pg in combination with the
game-data-packager. I'm working on a new version of LGeneral 1.2.3 at
the moment.
If the new version cannot migrate to Testing, then LGeneral should be
removed from Wheezy.
I have also introduced the issue on the debian-devel-games
mailinglist. [3]
Regards,
Markus Koschany
