Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : vor Version : 0.5.6 Upstream Author : Jason Woofenden <ja...@jasonwoof.com> * URL : http://sametwice.com/vor * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : A quick action game of dodging rocks in space
VoR is a simple, fast-paced action game that will challenge your
reflexes. It has excellent gameplay, great physics, good graphics,
and a retro/synthoid thumpy beat to help put you in the mood for
old-school 2D gaming.
VoR has been in Debian before, and was removed because because the
package maintainer didn't respond do bug reports for a couple
years.
VoR should be very easy to get into debian, because a package has
been created for it before, which would be used pretty much as-is.
A couple changes should be made though:
1. It should be bumped up to vor-0.5.6, because 0.5.5 FTBFS
because of a missing -lm compiler flag.
2. It should be moved from contrib to main. The only reason it was
in main is because the tarball contains .pov files, and povray
used to be in non-free. But now povray is in main, so VoR can
be also.
3. The patch is no longer important, but you could leave it in
there if you wish. The patch is there because older versions of
VoR would fail to run if the current working directory
contained a directory named "data" which was not VoR's graphics
directory. VoR is no longer so easily fooled (it now checks for
``./data/b_variations.png``)
VoR should be easy to maintain, because it builds in a very
standard way (autoconf) and because releases are infrequent.
Also, I (the primary upstream maintainer) respond in a timely
manner to emails.
Here's a link to the old VoR package:

I'm attaching the vor_0.5.5-2.debian.tar.gz linked from there,
because I assume it'll be removed from pool/ at some point.
Thank you!
