Oh, no problem. So the next patch will contain proper i18n support for all languages :-) > First of all, would any of you, Jens and Helge, want to comaintain the > package?

Yes, I would like it. Please note that I do not know how much time I will invest into hex-a-hop in the future but I still have two weeks holidays and I'm interested in internationalisation. I think I have now already basic knowledge about the source code so I me be able to fix other bugs in the future ... Maybe I will switch the build system to autotools (configure, ...) to add more cross platform support (inclusive Windows (which I cannot test as it's non free)). My alioth user name is jseidel-guest. What do I have to do? Subscribe to hex-a-hop, to the mailinglists of Debian Games ... What are the rules for the Subversion repository. Should all extensions be put into patches in debian/patches or would it be possible to directly apply all code changes into a branch?

If he hasn't a source code repository whould it be possible to offer him to work with your Subversion one? He could work on a separate branch "upstream" (directory) where only he has access to.

Bugs are already filed. Currently I work around it. Jens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
