Bug#834245: RFS: arasan/19.0.1-1 [ITP] -- a strong chess engine using xboard



Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "arasan"

* Package name    : arasan
  Version         : 19.0.1-1
  Upstream Author : Jon Dart <chess1@jondart.name>
* URL             : http://www.arasanchess.org
* License         : MIT
  Section         : games

It builds this binary package:

  arasan     - Chess engine that runs in xboard

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/arasan


Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/arasan/arasan_19.0.1-1.dsc

First upload.  Changes from upstream source:

  * Initial release (Closes: #771057)
  *
  * changed Makefile to change binary name to arasanx without -32 or -64 suffix
  * changed Makefile to remove configurations for non-Linux system and 
  * include Gaviota tablebase capability.
  * add debian/added_files directory containing the  large opening book binary
  * book.bin and the script file arasan to be called to start arasan.
  *
  * Unfortunately, arasan can only read its configuration file, arasan.rc,
  * the opening book, book.bin, and the directory containing the
  * gaviota tablebases, gtb/, from the same directory containing the 
  * binary program, arasanx.
  * Therfore, have added a shell script, named arasan, to /usr/games which adds
  * a directory  ~/.arasan, copies the arasan.rc file into it, along with links
  * to arasanx, book.bin, and the gaviota tablebases directory.  Then it 
  * executes the arasanx link for this directory.  If the directory already 
  * exists then it just enters ~/.arasan and executes the arasanx link.
  * Since the user now has his own copy of arasan.rc, he can edit it as he 
  * wishes.
  *
  * The shell script /usr/games/arasan should be used to start arasan from 
  * xboard as "arasan"
  *
  * Modified Makefile to use the library libgavioatb from the package
  * libgaviotatb1 instead of using a static linked copy of the library
  * in the source code.

  * added brief man documents arasan.1 and arasanx.1



Regards,
 Michael Knoop
