Re: Release-critical Bugreport for July 25, 2003
I recognize some RC bugs in packages included in Debian Jr. below. For
those of you who are looking for ways to help out, you could try your hand
at fixing them. Take care to carefully read the bug histories. Some of
these bugs the developers probably don't need help for (e.g. licensing
issues that the developer is in the middle of working out with upstream).
I'm asking for people to focus on those bugs that a bit of extra help might
solve quicker, e.g. FTBFS bugs that have remained unresolved for a while and
for which no patch is provided in the report.

This one looks easy, yet hasn't been given attention for over a month.

I know Brent actively maintains this package, so be sure to consult with him
if you intend to help with this.

Because of their prolonged bugginess, timidity and timidity-patches are no
longer in junior-sound. If resolved, they could go back in.

Ditto for tuxeyes.

This is an important package for junior-games-gl.
