Packaging emulators in DGT - gmameui, pcsx2, Mupen64
Hi,
I've been following the debian-devel-games list for a few months, since
I'm interested in working on games in Debian and Ubuntu (I also
subscribed to pkg-games-devel for a while, but I stopped the mail
delivery for that list, as there's too much spam in it to sort out -
trying to read the list archives is also impossible).
With an emulator like desmume already maintained by the team, I'd like
to know if there's any interest maintaining some more emulators (or
emulator-related packages) within the team.
I've opened an ITP for gmameui, a front-end for MAME at Bug#531450. I'm
also interested in packaging pcsx2 (the ITP owner confirmed by email he
gave up on this one), but since it's a huge undertaking, I'll need help
for this one, and will first try to integrate with the team and package
gmameui, which is simpler. I was also interested in Mupen64, there's
already an ITP open at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513322, but the owner
might be interested in maintaining it in a team).
I'm not sure what's required to join the team. I've touched a few
packages on the Ubuntu side, and am getting used to Debian way of doing
things.
Loïc
