Suggested packages (and/or ITP with sponsor)
Hi all. I've found a couple of programs that I think someone should put
into Debian. If no-one has by the time I complete the NM process (I think I
finally have concrete plans to get my key signed!), I'll upload them myself,
but there's no reason to wait :)
First is the following game, which IMO is one of the best Linux games I've
seen recently. It's cute, fast, and fun. Also, upstream has already produced
debs -- the worst problem I had with them is that the menu entries are left
out, and the source package uses yada (??) The license is GPL.
The homepage of Heroes is http://www.realtech.scene.org/heroes/
Package: heroes
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: games
Installed-Size: 6335
Maintainer: Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
Version: 0.4-1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libggi2 (>> 1:1.99.2.0b2.1), libgii0 (>> 1:0.6), libmikmod2, libggi-target
Description: Heroes
Heroes was a DOS game like nibble but with many enhancements. It can be
played by one or two players. It features 12 original soundtracks, 94
levels (in 10 different tilesets) plus a level editor. There are five game
modes like Quest (the classical nibble), or Kill'em all (run over
lemmings).
.
Presently the port is not complete, but the game is playable. The main
missing feature is the level editor.
The other package is a BeOS theme for GTK+. Of course, there are dozens
of these already, but this one is an engine theme, which means that (for
instance) it can be used without having a Pentium 400 and 128 MB of RAM :)
I've Debianized this one myself under the name "gtk-engines-begtk" and have the
diff available if anyone's interested.
The GTK+ theme is available from themes.org:
http://gtk.themes.org/php/download.phtml?object=gtk.theme.962566812&rev=1.2.x&query=download&server=themes.org
(I'm sure there's a nicer way to get that URL, but I don't know it :P )
I believe that this theme also is under the GPL.
My Debian package has the following control file:
Package: gtk-engines-begtk
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: unknown
Installed-Size: 41
Maintainer: Daniel Burrows <Daniel_Burrows@brown.edu>
Version: 1.0.0-1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.8-helix1), xlib6g (>= 3.3.6-4)
Description: BeOS-like theme for GTK+
This package contains a BeOS 'theme' that allows you to configure
the look of GTK+ 1.2-using programs. The programs need no
modifications to use themes; the support is built in to GTK+ 1.2.
