Thank you for good introduce! I'll try to help by packaging gmqcc and already have questions :) > I forgot to mention that the recommended git commit for Xonotic 0.7.0 is 100eaf9137008 What version package will have if it will be based on some commit, i. e. not on a release tag? If you have done some work for this package, pls, share it :) I'll create a git repo in git.debian.org:/git/pkg-games/ if you agree. Should I do something with wnpp bug? If yes, pls, send me to a guide :) Should we have IM communication? Thanks. Anton
