In any case, Yotam Rubin, who is a member of the Linux-IL mailing-list contacted me and said he wishes to be the maintainer of the Debian package.

Looking for a Debian Maintainer for Freecell Solver
I am the main programmer of Freecell Solver, which is a library and an executable for automatic solving of boards of Freecell and similar Solitaire variants. Freecell Solver is already used by KDE's Solitaire suite - kpat - and it is expected that it will be used by PySol and by GNOME's AisleRiot as well. Thus, I decided to make it into a package that will be used by all of those Freecell implementations. Freecell Solver now has an Autoconf/Automake/libtool-based building process that generates a shared library, a static library, and an executable that links against the shared library. I have already written an RPM SPEC for it (partially in thanks to Tzafrir Cohen's lecture), and installing it by rpm seems to work fine. However, I would also like to have a Debian package it. Now, since I don't use Debian regularily nor its package system, I would like to have someone who does, so he can maintain it for me. Thus, if anyone of you wishes to be one, or can forward this message to a global Debian mailing-list, I would be grateful to you. What the maintainer should have (in that order): 1. Familiarity with how to make a Debian package or a willingless to learn it. 2. Familiarity with RPM SPECS. I maintain the RedHat package, and he could build the Debian based on its SPEC. 3. Familiarity with Freecell and similar games, and with Freecell Solver in particular. (I believe he will need to test it to make sure everything is fine). If anyone is willing to take the job, he should contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~shlomif/freecell-solver/ - The Freecell Solver Homepage http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/ - The Freecell Solver mailing-list http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/72 - A message sent to it discussing this issue.
