Re: RFS: scid (updated package).



Dear mentors,

I have updated the package and would friendly ask if somebody would sponsor 
the package. I have added some message where it shows that its 'legal' to 
upload my package. I hope somebody will sponsor it.

After a half year the old maintainer has handed over the package to me.
Now follows the final message where the maintainer says he has no problem with 
it.

I have talked to QA if no Orphans bug must be openend so the mentors can see I 
dont hijack this packages.

Done. Section changed to misc.

Changed to texlive-games.  The maintainer of scid was also the maintainer of
texchess and texskak. I will make soon transition packages for both tex* 
packages.

Not sure yet. Dont use phalanx.
