Re: Lost Labyrinth
Hy Alex, Thanx for the information. I read it and just submitted a RFP. I hope that I find somebody that can help me. Markus Am Donnerstag, 1.

Re: Lost Labyrinth
You are right its purebasic. Which means only the source is free, the compiler is not. And that means it has to move to contrib, no? What do I have to do then? I think for most players its enough to get a working binary. The installation should be easy. Means f.e. that the right have to be set. (I got a highscores.dat which has to be writeable for the user) And that the program finds its files we have to change in its directory. For which in my rpm I create a wrapper file. And place this in /usr/games that the user can simply type laby everywhere. And finally I create an Icon on the desktop. If its helping I can provide the spec for my rpm. Should I still place an email there? or is this only working for Debian main? Am Freitag, 26.

Re: Lost Labyrinth
I fear I can't use this command, because I lack access to a debian machine right now. I am living in Argentina since 6 Month and only got my laptop with me. (And I can't install all systems here (only got 20 gig of disc space) ) My server at home uses debian, but i can't access it right now. I released Version 1.0.2 of Laby yesterday.

Lost Labyrinth
Hallo Debian, I like your distribution a lot! A few days ago we finally released the first final version of our game Lost Labyrinth for Linux. The newest version at the moment is 1.0.1. I also created a rpm version of the game. I don't know right now how to build a deb file. But it should be easy to install the game with alien. Maybe you like to include our game in your distribution? Its only 4.4 MB big. Its a game like the old Roque and for Windows we have a lot of fans already. I would love it if we had a lot of Linux gamers too! If you like have a look here: http://laby.toybox.de Thanx, Markus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
