Do whatever you need to do to figure out the CEGUI 0.8 soname issue or whatever it is. b. Figure out some way to keep us guys happy. If you are able to have some repo. outside Debian where we can test/play our game and new releases of either the game or/and game engine so that when it is in the Debian release cycle, its current, stable and has no obvious bugs (as in game not starting etc.) I cannot speak about Manuel but I would be willing/test new versions both of CEGUI as well as sumwars as and when they are done. In fact, if all the other pre-requisites of the game are taken (as in being current) I don't see any reason why we couldn't make the things more current, more stabler overall enhancing the Debian project . You would have to do one thing if you do take this endeavour though, be explicit about your instructions for getting the library binary . I do not know anything aout the internals of the library but in case if you have in mind any tests to test functionality as to what works or doesn't, be willing to be a scapegoat and test whatever is needed and tell/share whatever works or doesn't. Of course, how do we do that, what mechanism do we follow, either a mail or be part of some mailing list where bugs/issues of new packages which are not yet in Debian release cycle should be put up, all of that you would have to figure out (because I have very limited understanding of the Debian Project as a whole) Looking forward to taking this discussion as well as get something productive done as a result. > Regards, > -- > Muammar El Khatib. > Linux user: 403107. > Key fingerprint = 90B8 BFC4 4A75 B881 39A3 1440 30EB 403B 1270 29F1 > http://muammar.me | http://proyectociencia.org > ,''`. > : :' : > `. `' > `- -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
