Package: wnpp Severity: normal The package 4digits was orphaned and removed from Debian in 2008:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=479098 But, the upstream developer has continued working on it, and recently submitted it to Ubuntu's Application Review Board. Rather than making this an Ubuntu-only package, it seems to make sense to adopt the package upstream in Debian. As mentioned in the Debian bug, 4digits is not superseded by gnome-mastermind, it's a different game. A much older game, in fact, (by a century or more) which may have inspired the creation of Mastermind. See, the wikipedia page, which singles out this particular developer's work as the example implementation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulls_and_cows I've imported the old packaging into a git repository and updated it for the new 1.0 release and for DEP-5 and other current best practices. This work is in a temporary github repo: https://github.com/allisonrandal/pkg-4digits And, I've also submitted an updated package to mentors.debian.net: http://mentors.debian.net/package/4digits I'll be mentoring the developer in how to maintain his debian/ packaging files.
