Okay. So that means these files are not conceptually part of the Inform 6 compiler code base? I thought that was the initial bug report's meaning. I'm now the one who's confused :-) > How about if I put together a package called > "interactive-fiction-tools" which would be recommended by the > inform6 packages and any other IF authoring tools? What coherent code base are these files most naturally maintained, versioned, released, and used by the community? The Debian package should reflect what code bases are likely to see ongoing maintenance (modulo considerations like the Upstream Guide <URL:https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide>). This is why I'm asking for clarity about what constituent parts will form each coherent code base and be maintained reliably into the future, *prior* to making decisions about Debian packaging. -- \ “Human reason is snatching everything to itself, leaving | `\ nothing for faith.” —Bernard of Clairvaux, 1090–1153 CE | _o__) | Ben Finney <b...@benfinney.id.au>
