Xconq has a lot of bugs
Hello,
while browsing through the list of RC bugs i stumbled over xconq.
This game seems to be in a terrible state. There were long standing
bugs in the BTS. Some of them have patches but nobody seems to
care about the package. The packaging stuff is outdated
(Standards-Version: 2.4.1) the Debian version is years behind
upstream.
So what to do:
I suggest to completely repack the thing from scratch with the
latest upstream version from http://sources.redhat.com/xconq/
(version 7.4.1).
Perhaps Pete Ryland has interest to do that (according to his
patch from 17 Jan 2002 he seems to have interest). I would care
about an NMU of Pete. If not I would give it a try over the weekend
if noone insists.
Kind regards
Andreas.
