I hope this is enough. It could be if you put it in debian/copyright, preferably as a temporary solution. You could prepare the necessary changes and send them upstream (in form he prefers) so they can be included in the next upstream release. > > The game writes its HiScores file (spout.sco) in the current working > > directory.

I had to search the list archives to find the location for the last package and it appears it is still not updated. http://mentors.debian.net is often used these days (and gives you some "uploading" experience). -- dam JabberID: dam@jabber.minus273.org
