About VICE
Hi,
I'd like to consider the situation of VICE package in debian. VICE is a
CBM emulator (PET, VIC20, C64, C128). We have (in woody and potato) in
contrib/otherosfs version 1.0. I think it's more than a year that 1.4
exists. It solve some problems (included some bugs, because debian package
has open bugs) and works better (support for C128 for example).
I wrote to debian maintainer Giuliano Procida, myxie (at) d.o, but no
answers and no activity in BTS too.
I use it sometimes and I'd like to see a new version in woody. I could do
a new package of 1.4 release.
Another question. Actual package is in contrib, I think because of roms.
Naturally we have no roms in debian and script that should download them
does not work (no rom there). Then there are thousand of c64 roms all over
the net, so I think such a script is unuseful. So, If I don't forget
anything we could move vice in main. It's not unusable without roms, you
can emulate that old computers and use them.
Thanks for your help,
Christian
