I request an adopter for the xpilot package. I have put a fair amount
of care into this package over the years, but no longer play the game,
so it really deserves to be looked after by an active player of the
game, or at least someone with an interest in XPilot development.
I had always intended to package the de facto successor, so anyone
interested in adopting this package should also look at this ITP (which
I will shortly retitle to RFP):
#141099: ITP: xpilot-ng -- XPilot game "next generation"
I hope the new maintainer will either take on both packages, or at least
do xpilot-ng.
Development of the original xpilot.org version continues in a different
direction, but since it seems to have stalled out, it appears that
xpilot-ng is the XPilot of the future. So if NG goes into Debian,
the original package could be removed, and therefore would only need
occasional care in Debian "stable" until it is superceded by NG.
The package description is:
XPilot is a multi-player tactical manoeuvring game for X. Each
player controls their own fighter equipped with a variety of weapons
and power-ups. Players compete as teams or as individuals; the
object of the game is to score points by blasting the opposition,
stealing their treasure or by racing round a circuit.
WARNING: This game is very addictive.
.
This package has been split into xpilot-client-common,
xpilot-client-nosound, xpilot-client-nas, xpilot-client-rplay
and xpilot-server. There is an additional package (xpilot-extra)
containing various free maps and sounds as well as a useful utility
program to interrogate the metaserver.

XPilot is now a metapackage that upgrades users to XPilot-ng, so I no
longer need an adoptor for XPilot.
Anyone wishing to revive the original xpilot.org version should consider
looking at http://www.buckosoft.com/xpilot/xpilot5/ instead, which is
supposed to be the official XPilot authors' successor to XPilot 4.5.5,
but is still alpha release status, and has been for some years now. The
last alpha release was 5.0.0a9, May 24, 2004.
Unfortunately, the 4.5.5beta release never went to a full release after
two years, and a number of flaws remain in 4.5.5 which are fixed in
4.7.1. Furthermore, 4.7.1 (the XPilot NG fork) is a complete superset
of 4.5.5 functionality, so there is no need to have both in the Debian
archive.
