Bug#296714: ITP: freepop -- game inspired by the classic Populous series
reopen 296714 thanks * Eddy Petri??or [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-07-27 17:10]: I see that the repo[1] linked by Gerfried in the original mail contains a package for this game. Right. Did you also read the README in that directory? Gerfried, are you still interested in maintaining this game package? Yes. If so, some Debian Developer could sponsor an upload, if you ask for one. Probably he might be a member of the Debian Games Team[*]. I really wonder: you send this message to someone with a @debian.org address. I haven't yet met a person that has a @debian.org address and is _no_ Debian Developer... Furthermore if you check the archives for at least the list when it still was hostes on alioth, or take a peek into the IRC channel for the group, you might find me there, too. I would have expected that such a request would come from someone who is a bit more involved themselfes... If you decide to maintaina the package, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following contents. The bug will be closed yet another time at upload time. If you would read the README you would notice that an upload still can't happen currently. The clanlib 0.7 packages done back then by fenio weren't approved by the clanlib maintainers, and there wasn't yet a different approch to get clanlib 0.7 into Debian. Furthermore I don't consider this issue high priority as the gameplay currently is even less advanced than widelands, and as you can see in #295191 it isn't considered release fit neither.

Right. Did you also read the README in that directory? Now I have. Note that DRI is almost always needed for games with graphics a little more advanced than a basic level, but that info (except the upgrade stuff) should have been in the ITP bug report, IMHO. It would have been more visible and allowed others to test the experimental packages you prepared on DRI enabled systems. Gerfried, are you still interested in maintaining this game package? Yes.

I would have expected that such a request would come from someone who is a bit more involved themselfes... Sorry, for that, this mail was semi automated, in the sense that I almost fully copy pasted the whole thing in there from another mail and adapated the first paragaph, forgetting to check if the second part applies. Seeing the bug closed by damog because is ITP for more than a year, currently almost a year and a half from its opening, and having that on Debian Games Teams WNPP[1] wiki I went over it (like I did with others, pinging the ones which I thought were interesting enough). This was interesting. I don't see any reason to get upset for something that can clearly be an understandable mistake. I made a simillar mistake with Daniel Bauman (indeed I saw a non @d.o mail), he didn't mind. Maybe you forgot, but this was supposed to be fun ;-) . If you decide to maintaina the package, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following contents. The bug will be closed yet another time at upload time. If you would read the README you would notice that an upload still Still there was no sign from you when the automated mail from David closed the bug one year later (now about a half a year ago). can't happen currently. The clanlib 0.7 packages done back then by fenio weren't approved by the clanlib maintainers, and there wasn't yet a different approch to get clanlib 0.7 into Debian. Furthermore I don't So? That was more than one year ago and you could have blocked this ITP with the bug which already existed, #188449, and add one more comment about the blocking in both bugs. I don't see anything bad in letting others know that you are invloved and interested and showing the clanlib maintainer that the new version is needed. Sarge was out the door one year ago, but still clanlib 0.7 is not in Debian, because of an unresponsive maintainer (#188449 says enough to motivate one to hijack the package, as Daniel said he would do).

Bug#296714: ITP: freepop -- game inspired by the classic Populous series
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Gerfried Fuchs [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Package name: freepop Version : 0.6.0 Upstream Author : Brendon Higgins [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://freepop.sf.net/ * License : GPL Description : game inspired by the classic Populous series FreePop is a multi-platform tile-based game based on the great old game Populous 2 by Bullfrog Productions Ltd., but much improved. Hope you'll like it. It requires the clanlib0.7 packages currently stuck in NEW[1], so don't expect the upload too soon. I'll put them up on my own webpage at http://alfie.ist.org/debian/freepop/ for the meantime when I'm ready with packages available for testing. I'm stumbled into a compile problem though yesterday which I have to address with upstream first.
