Hi Tobias, thanks for your encouraging words. I see you care. I just wanted to follow the guidelines and inform interested people what's going on and why i've added myself to uploaders. I personally think it's a good idea to identify problematic packages which are unmaintained or need help even if we are in a freeze right now. This shouldn't prevent us from doing maintenance especially if there are bugs which will become serious in the future. Thus said i've also fixed some RC bugs but not all of them did affect the games team. All packages on the queue right now are not intended for wheezy, etw got already uploaded by Michael Gilbert and the release team approved the unblock request. AFAIK the following packages maintained by the team have bugs of severity serious or grave. Matanza: (#675295) Needs a DD who uploads Bart Martens' fix! Abuse: (#648272) Already removed from Testing. Me and Jon had a go at this and i eventually removed all non-free/non-distributable content, game compiles but only four addons are still playable. That's not the best solution, maybe someone else can continue working on Abuse. Removing the package from the archive is also an option. Adanaxisgpl: (#675845) Also removed from Testing. crystalspace: (#633727) Removed from Testing. There are most likely other packages like billard-gl that need a fix for wheezy, too. Bug (#580711) is very annoying. But i haven't found a solution yet. Let's talk more about this! Cheers, Markus
