Hi Anton, In the whole Xonotic is big, but we can split it up and it becomes much easier :). The problem is that it is too big for me alone... Currently the engine that Xonotic uses (Darkplaces) is upto date in sid. The next step is to package 1. gmqcc RFP: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=712125 a new QuakeC compiler used in Xonotic, or 2. q3map2 RFP: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693637 the map compiler. After a quick look, gmqcc looks like a good starting point to learn how to package. I would be willing to help and even have a very quick start on the package that I can share if you take up the challenge. q3map2 could be another start, though the upstream tarball has to be cleaned before it is suitable for Debian and so requires (a little) more work. - Possibly we could use the UFO:AI map compiler that is not yet in Debian, but looks like it could be soon. This has the potential of completely not working, or producing maps that are somehow not compatible with upstream Xonotic (?) but it would reduce clutter and maybe our work load. - Another option would be to skip compiling the maps for a first packaging and use the ones provided upstream (along with source), like what is currently done for the other Quake derived games in Debian. These are also options for any of the other new members of the games team! David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
