Hi,Sam can have it, as far as I'm concerned. I have a patch which fixes abuse-sdl to compile under gcc 3.3 (it doesn't work with abuse-frabs when compiled under gcc 3.3). The issues addressed in this bug may or may not be the cause of the other bugs on non-386 architectures, but I don't have access to the appropriate architectures to test them on.. I also have a (trivial) documentation patch which fixes one of the other bugs. You might also want to update abuse-lib to include the full version of the data files, since these have since been released into the public domain. The sound effects are still non-public domain, and thus must remain in non-free. The original author of abuse speculated that the author of the sound effects might be willing to release them under a free license, which I havn't followed up on. Otherwise you might be able to pull in the sound effects from abuse-frabs, but you'd have to check that these arn't the original sounds with the author of frabs just being slopy about copyright issues.
-- KeithP.S. abuse-sdl already works on non-8bpp displays, which is why I figured we could safely remove abuse. I appologize for not getting in touch with Sam, I didn't notice he'd expressed interest.

I intend to adopt the other abuse-related packages (abuse-sdl abuse-lib abuse-sfx abuse-frabs), but think that abuse should be removed instead.So who is going to adopt it, and when? Both of you expressed interest in July.
