Hi all,
Here it is a summary of the last actions about the integration of Wormux
into Debian...
I began the packaging a few months ago and the packages where available
on the gna server. But the goal is to be officialy in the Debian and
Ubuntu distros, so that was the task I tried to do.
As Debian is very strict about all its packages, even for a game, it
took some time. To keep the package simple, some work had to be done on
the wormux building and installation itself (with configure, make etc).
It is better to have the modifications into the Wormux release rather
than patching the release to make the package.
For example, the font used in Wormux must be a dependancy of the
package, as it already exists a package for this font into Debian.
That's why I introduced the ability to define the font path at compile-time.
I had some time these last days so I wish the package to be finalized.
That's why I released a new version of Wormux quite quickly ;-)
But, happily, it is now ok. Today the game is on the Debian archives,
and signed by a Debian developper. It needs just "formal" days to be on
the sid repository. For Ubuntu, that should be done just a few days
after, as the Debian Games Group and Ubuntu's one work closely.
-> Wormux will be in "Debian Etch" and "Ubuntu Edgy Eft"
Hoping these well-known distros will bring us many more players, testers
and maybe developpers,
Cheers, Jean
