Joe Drew has lxdoom and I have agreed to sponsor his packages as soon as I'm caught up with school again. I (will) have dosdoom as soon as Andrew Apted gets the dosdoom team off their tails to release the new version! =p Nobody has offered yet to take xdoom, but I suppose we don't NEED linuxdoom really except for comparison's sake, so it's not exactly a big deal. Because the IWAD is non-free, before DOOM can go into main I have to get a WAD editor packaged. I'm looking at yadex now, which is based on DEU. There was some discussion of an effort to build a completely free WAD for people who just want to play it and not play with it. I think Joe Drew or I will probably package the shareware WAD too for people wanting it, but that'd have to go into non-free. -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux developer GnuPG: 2048g/3F9C2A43 - 20F6 2261 F185 7A3E 79FC 44F9 8FF7 D7A3 DCF9 DAB3 PGP 2.6: 2048R/50BDA0ED - E8 D6 84 81 E3 A8 BB 77 8E E2 29 96 C9 44 5F BE -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Knghtbrd> you people are all insane. <Joey> knight: sure, that's why we work on Debian. <JHM> Knghtbrd: get in touch with your inner nutcase.
