O: frozen-bubble -- Pop out the bubbles!
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I am hereby orphaning the frozen-bubble package. The new SDL Perl
bindings require an update of frozen-bubble to version 2.2.1~beta1.
However in this version, in order to support Windows, upstream decided
to switch to a NIH build system that needs Perl modules to run perl
scripts to generate perl makefiles that run perl scripts that finally
build a perl program.

PERLCEPTION
Maintaining this game has been a lot of fun but it obviously needs to be
passed on to someone who knows how to maintain NIH perl build systems.
I certainly do not intend to maintain new CPAN modules just for a build
system.
The package description is:
Frozen-Bubble is a clone of the popular "Puzzle Bobble" game, in which
you attempt to shoot bubbles into groups of the same color to cause them
to pop. It features 100 single-player levels, a two-player mode, music
and striking graphics.
.
This game is widely rumored to be responsible for delaying the Woody
release.
I have put an updated version of the packaging in collab-maint’s SVN
repository, so anyone feel free to pick it up and start over.
Cheers,
