Re: github repo with submodules: non usable source tarball

2025-06-25 Thread Antoine Le Gonidec
It seems this Write software mostly use submodules to depend on shared dependencies, the best move here (but probably not the easiest one) would be to packages these dependencies first. Write itself would be packaged afterwards, and build-depend on the packages included before it in the Debian arc

The Debian Mono "Team" needs help

2025-05-20 Thread Antoine Le Gonidec
Mono was orphaned last year, and I took over its maintenance because I rely on it to run some non-free video games (not redistributable, so not packaged into Debian), so I can unvendor the Mono runtime shipped with these games and use the Debian-provided runtime instead. What this means is that my
