Hey, the user is deeply grateful for your very quick response. Thanks a lot. :) At the moment i'm skimming through game packages for a blend project and it will happen from time to time that i simply file a bug report instead of fixing it myself. Besides i think we should make it an internal release goal for the Games Team to add desktop and menu files with corresponding icons to all game packages that can benefit from them. Even a resized screenshot would be better than having no icon at all. > Honestly, the package is deposited at > > http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/n/nettoe/nettoe_1.4.2-1.dsc > > should someone have time to spare. > > The upstream source uses terminfo nowadays, i.e., libtinfo in Debian. > The packaging attends to #709447 and #709448 and a fair amount of > clean-up with regard to packaging mechanisms. I just built your package here and it is lintian clean, hooray. :) But...the desktop file isn't valid. You should remove the UTF-8 encoding key and add a category key like Categories=Game;LogicGame Keywords=tic;tac;toe;text;terminal;logic;multiplayer; Better install the desktop file to /usr/share/applications instead of /usr/share/xsession. What about using http://nettoe.sourceforge.net/images/nettoe_big.gif as a starting point for an image? I would simply cut out the second to last letter, et voilà! Cheers, Markus
