Good day Michael, Job, Damyan, and the Debian games team,

I think we may have a person or two familiar with Debian. I will bring this up with the community and see if we're can find someone interested in doing this.

I know this has come up before, and we weren't sure how to proceed, so I think we should be able to.

I believe that I previously offered to mentor/sponsor since this game has been quite popular in my household. (Thanks for all the great work on it!) That offer is still open.

 

I have taken the liberty to upgrade the package (locally) from
0.9.8-1.2 to 0.9.16.1 and started a salsa project to track the
changes. The result is at <https://salsa.debian.org/dmn/endless-sky>.
It is not 100% ready yet, but looks quite nice. At this point I wonder
how to proceed.

I haven't tried building, but that packaging looks pretty solid at first glance.

 

Michael, would you like a co-maintainer for the Debian package?
Perhaps even a group-maintenance under the Debian Games Team (cc-ed)?
Either should help timely upgrades in Debian.

If you opt to go under the Games Team umbrella, I will be happy to help mentor/sponsor, as needed.

 

Thanks for the great additions to the storyline :)

Yes!
