Hello all,
in my capacity as co-developer of upstream Nettoe at
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/nettoe/
I am about to produce a new (much wanted?) release nettoe-1.2.0
within shortly. On the other hand, I have entered the Debian games
team with the expressed intent of helping to maintain the corresponding
package for Debian GNU/Linux. Hence, what preparatory actions are
necessary to achieve this goal? Do I deposit a package somewhere
for review, like I would do at mentors.debian.net, or is there some
other procedure to follow? Should I apply for some particular resource
or capability in order to act as subordinate maintainer?
You might like to know that the new release mainly addresses three
long standing issues:
1. The background colour and text colour is now neutral in so far
as working equally well in a virtual console, or in a terminal
emulator with either white or black background.
2. There is now a third, harder AI-mode, that finds all winning
moves, and also covers every threat the human player makes.
3. The network game mode is now functional, which was not the case
even in the package supplied by the Debian repositories.
Presently the source code has been tested by me for Debian Lenny,
FreeBSD 6.4, and OpenBSD 4.4, but will continue further.
Even though TicTacToe is a simple game, during my testing I have
found strategic subtleties I never saw as a child!
Kind regards,
