Re: rott and grub-invaders packages under team maintainance



Hello Hans,

Talking about rott, when packaging rott for Fedora I've done many bugfixes and spend a lot if time porting over improvements from the winrott windows port to the unix port. Including adding support for (software) rendering at higher resolutions then 320x240, which really is a must for use with modern LCD's.

I think it would be great if these improvements could be added to Debian's package too, the patches live here:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/devel/rott/

Thank you very much! Of course I'd like to have as much as possible of these patches in Debian, too.

However, there has allready been a code audit for the 1.0-5 release of the rott package in Debian and I guess that we allready ship most of the fixes in our patchset that are also in your repository. We should compare where our patches overlap. In this regard, it would be nice if you could take a short look at our patches and compare them with your work.

The Fedora package also contains some autodownloader files and scripts to allow end users easy download and install of the shareware data files.

The Debian package is currently only compiled for the shareware version and asks the user if he wants to download the shareware data files during the postinst script. If answered "yes" it automatically downloads, unzips and installs the files in an appropriate place.

If you like I welcome you as a co-maintainer for the Debian package as soon as I have integrated it into the pkg-games SVN.

Nice Greetings,
Fabian
