What sort of game is biloba? The above description tells us almost nothing - basically it is an "abstract strategic game", which really could mean anything. Is it turn-based? Pen-and-paper-like? Arcade elements? What proportions of motor skills, mental skills and blind chance? (Those are basics, which still wouldn't really go far enough to explain whether I'd want to install it.) signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Yes, biloba is a turn-based game. It's played around an hexagonal game
plate. Each player has a certain number of pawns, and the goal is to
eliminate the pawns of the other players. Each player plays one after
the other. During each turn, one player can move one of its pawn against
some rules, and in certain conditions, the player can take one of the
other players pawns.
The rules are not yet translated into english, but I'm willing to do so.
I will include RULES.fr and RULES.en files in the documentation. My work
on this package is available from
https://ssl.bulix.org/svn/thomas/debian/biloba/ (usable with
svn-buildpackage).
Sincerly,
Thomas

So here's what I would say, then: Description: strategy board game for 2 to 4 players biloba is a turn-based game for 2 to 4 players. Each player moves pawns on a hexagonal board and attempts to eliminate opponents' pawns. Biloba includes an AI opponent, and supports local or network play. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Okay, thanks. I've fixed the debian/control file in the SVN repository.
At the same time, I added RULES.fr and RULES.en files explaining the
rules (translation in english needs to be fixed by a native english
speaker), and added biloba to the menu system.
Are you willing to sponsor such a package ?
Thomas

Hi !
Sorry for not answering your mail. When I received it, I decided to
postpone my answer, but as usual, the postponed answer has been turned
into the inexisting answer. Sorry.

I currently do not have enough time to become a Debian Developer, and
I'm not sure that I'm maintaining enough packages (2 currently) to
become one. So, do not hesitate to take the biloba package in charge.
Thanks !

So, do not hesitate to take the biloba package in charge. Well, I understand you don't have time, but if you already maintain 2 packages in the archive this is enough for becoming, so don't let the number of packages stop you. In other news, I'm taking care of the ITP bug now so I'll be uploading biloba soon. regards, -- Ricardo Mones ~ The three principal virtues of a programmer are Laziness, Impatience, and Hubris.man perl signature.asc Description: PGP signature
