Bug#696582: ITP: meritous -- action-adventure dungeon crawl game
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Sylvain Beucler b...@debian.org * Package name: meritous Version : 1.2 Upstream Author : Lancer-X/ASCEAI * URL : http://www.asceai.net/meritous/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : action-adventure dungeon crawl game Long description: Far below the surface of the planet is a secret. A place of limitless power. Those that seek to control such a utopia will soon bring an end to themselves. Seeking an end to the troubles that plague him, PSI user MERIT journeys into the hallowed Orcus Dome in search of answers. . Mertious is a action-adventure game with simple controls but a challenge to find a balance of power verses recovery time during real-time battles. Set in a fractually-generated world, the player can explore thousands of rooms in search of powerful artifacts, tools to help them, and to eventually free the Orcus Dome from evil. This is actually a re-upload. I'm part of the Debian Games team and noticed #672759: RM: meritous -- RoQA; FTBFS; unmaintained; low popcon RoQA; FTBFS; unmaintained; low popcon I'm adressing these points below: - RoQA/unmaintained: I'll assume that the original packager (sponsored by tolimar back in 2008) was contacted and is now unresponsive, so I'm taking over. In addition, the game wasn't part of the games team AFAICT and fell off our radar. - FTBFS: just a missing build-dep on zlib - low popcon: consider this is a game and that people tend to uninstall them after beating it; other games such as flare or abuse are in this range (100-200). Not that popularity means quality ;) The game is otherwise finished and, despite the removal of unfree/unclear music, quite enoyable. -- Sylvain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#619602: RFP: theunarchiver -- archive extractor with built-in support for multiple formats
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: theunarchiver Version : 2.6 Upstream Author : Dag Ågren paracel...@gmail.com * URL : http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html * License : LGPL Programming Lang: Objective C Description : archive extractor with built-in support for multiple formats The Unarchiver extracts archives in Zip, Tar-GZip, Tar-BZip2, RAR, 7-zip, LhA, StuffIt and many other old and obscure formats. In particular it supports extracting RAR v3 archive using a completely free, LGPL'd implementation (while other archive managers usually rely on the non-free library from the RAR authors). It provides two commands: * lsar to list an archive content * unar to extract the archive The webpage provide this set of instructions to build the package, which works for me under Debian Squeeze: sudo apt-get install build-essential libgnustep-base-dev libz-dev libbz2-dev libssl-dev libicu-dev cd XADMaster make -f Makefile.linux I didn't try to build the GUI portion, which is aimed at OS X. The package contains an unused copy of the proprietary unrar library (in the BadLicense/ directory), which should be removed before packaging. The free code is in XADMaster/XADRAR* . -- Sylvain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

This program is designed as a cross-platform replacement for the original executable and uses the SDL library. sources url: http://cyxdown.free.fr/reminiscence/ ... It needs the data files from the original Flashback game. I have done some work on the package in the pkg-games Subversion repository: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-games/packages/trunk/reminiscence/ I don't mind taking it further, finishing the package and uploading. Any objections if I move the packaging to Git (still under pkg-games umbrella)?

Bug#578703: ITP: cytadela -- old-school first person shooter
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Sylvain Beucler b...@beuc.net Owner: Sylvain Beucler b...@beuc.net * Package name: cytadela Version : 0.9 Upstream Author : Tomasz Kaźmierczak * URL : http://cytadela.sf.net/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C++ Description : old-school first person shooter Cytadela is a conversion of an old Amiga first person shooter. The original was created in mid 1990's by Virtual Design, and released firstly in Poland and then in other countries. This is a single player game in which the player fights against AI enemies. The goal of the game is to find six bomb parts with which the Citadel has to be blown up. To achieve it, the player not only has to defend himsefl against the enemies, but (s)he also has to solve many riddles, such as switching apropriate buttons in order to open some door, move some walls, etc. As a conversion, this project tries to be as similar to the original as possible and therefore there won't be any significant changes, only some gameplay improvements are possible. This version is fully playable and beatable, but the introduction and ending sequences are not developed yet (they are planned for v1.0). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#492760: ITP: freedink -- A portable version of the Dink Smallwood game engine.
owner 492760 ! As there's no reply I reassign the bug to myself :) (Feel free to contact if you want to help.) The current version of the Debian package can be found here: http://www.freedink.org/snapshots/debian/ (based on snapshots) There's progress with releasing other game data under a free license. I'm in contact with Seth A. Robinson from RTsoft atm. I think we could plan a first upload to experimental if this works out. -- Sylvain On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 06:08:13PM +0200, Sylvain Beucler wrote: Hi, * Package name: freedink I intend to package FreeDink myself, actually :) As you can see there's a debian/ repository ready in the repository.
