Thanks for you input! Let me forward your mail to our BTS and file a bug with your information. Best regards, Tobias -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Von: Marko Lindqvist <cazf...@gmail.com> An: Debian Games Team <debian-devel-ga...@lists.debian.org> Betreff: Freciv in Stretch Datum: Sun, 19 Jun 2016 07:05:29 +0300 I'm writing as one of the upstream maintainers of freeciv. Debian is about to freeze for Stretch in a less than a year. For freeciv this means that Stretch will still have freeciv-2.5 as freeciv-2.6 will not be ready in time. So here I list couple of points you may want to consider improving in the way freeciv-2.5 is packaged. - All the clients except sdl-client can be built to use sdl2-mixer instead of sdl1.2-mixer. Please consider building only sdl-client using sdl1.2, and other clients with --enable-sdl-mixer=sdl2. That would drop the sdl1.2 dependencies from those clients, so they would not drag that old sdl version in. - As you are packaging gtk2-client but not gtk3-client, consistent thing would be to use gtk2 version of the modpack installer also. Currently you have --enable-fcmp=gtk3. - Having parallel gtk2-client (our default still in 2.5) and gtk3- client packages would be benefit us, as that would make our gtk3-client testing userbase a bit larger. - 'control' seems to have some x11 related dependencies that are no longer relevant as you're not packaging xaw-client. Also libpng is not used directly by clients other than xaw-client. - libesd0-dev has probably been needed by sound plugin we've not been shipping in over a decade. SDL Mixer dependencies should be enough. - ML
