Re: RFS: Doomsday Engine (or deng for short)
Hi David,
First of all, thank you very much for your quick response!

Please make your packages available somewhere, preferable mentors.debian.net.
You reduce your change to find a sponsor as it complicates the process:
A possible sponsor can't have a quick glance at your package,
other mentees can't do a pre-real-sponsor-check easily and so on…
Will do.
Further more you might want to contact the debian games team, too.
They have a vcs armed and ready and a few more possible sponsors…
And the other doom-engine (prdoom) is maintained in this team.
Will do.
Beside that only by looking at the control file:
- out of date standard version - do you have a reason for that? properly not.
Nope, will fix.
- prdoom package description suggests freedoom to get IWAD files (whatever
this is), can these be used by your engine, too?
- you provide doom-engine -- does your package really satisfy the needs of
the packages who depend on an the virtual doom-engine package?
- I can't understand the (short) description: Is it a game or just an engine?
Either way, enhanced compared to what - or even: I don't know doom, can you
write a description which tells me still if i want to install this package?
And what the hell is a "source port"? (my little brother searching for cool
new games will ask)…
The debian-l10n-english mailinglist can be a great help in that regard.
I'll contact the games team and upstream developers on things mentioned
above. Any tips or pointers on contacting the games team?
(uh and no, i am not interested and not even a D{D,M}, i just had 5 minutes
to burn while waiting for a 'make' to finish… another indication that you
should upload your packages somewhere to enable short drive-by reviews…)
Well, you helped a lot anyway, so thanks again!
P.S.: You can't follow "most of the policy"…
No gray shades available, only black (violate) or white (obey)… ;)
I'll go for black, obviously... ;-)
Kind regards,
Kees
