Description: lasker is a free internet chess server, forked from the
last free available version of FICS (http://www.freechess.org), who
unfortunately decided to close their source. It provides a server for
humans or bots to login and play chess. The FICS protocol is supported
by most popular chess user interfaces, like xboard and eboard.
Currently I am still sorting out some license and security issues. In
particular, the CVS source includes "mamer", a bot which runs
tournaments. Unfortunately, that code has no license at all (and was
not included in the releases). I will try to clarify that and get the
authors to release it under a DFSG-compatible license. It would be a
great enhancement to lasker. Furthermore, there seem to be (small,
could be replaced) files with some variant of the obnoxious BSD
advertising clause. As to security, Andrew Tridgell already fixed
several buffer overflows and the like, but still has some sort of
security disclaimer in the README.
I invite other chess-interested maintainers to help me, it will be
some work, but I consider it worthwhile, as there is currently no
other usable free internet chess server.

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 600 days.
- It haven't had any activity recently.
- The amount of ITPs on the Debian BTS is huge and we need to
clean up a bit the place.
As this an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:
reopen 123456
thanks bts
Replacing '123456' for the number of your RFP bug. The subject of the
mail is ignored. Or if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.
This is the first mass wnpp closing that will be done. The next close
will be done on inactive RFPs older than 450 days and finally, the
ones older than 365 days (an automatic script will close *inactive*
RFPs when they reach one year old).
A similar process is being applied to the ITP wnpp bugs in these
days.
Thanks for your cooperation,
-- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org> Wed, 14 Sep 2005 21:54:42 -0500
