That's the point here. How many potential free LÖVE games are available out there in the wild? Are we talking about a handful or dozens? Does it then make much sense to introduce multiple LÖVE versions or would it be more economical to stick with one source package and one version of LÖVE and support only this one? Given the history of LÖVE games in Debian so far, the latter might be easier. > If > there's lots of 0.8 games then supporting multiple love versions would > be easier.

I doubt that it is always that easy to patch a game up to a new version thus we would need responsive upstream developers. > Or I could not bother with love games at all and do something else > instead. :) I hope not. I think now is the time to ask Miry for help to get Mr. Rescue into Debian. All the theory with multiple games and versions is quite nice but having a real game someone can play with, that would be a great start. :) Markus
