I'm withdrawing my ITPs for the above packages. All of the packages except
gtkglk are ready and available at mentors.debian.net. If anybody wants
to pick them up, be my guest. If you can't find them, just ask me.
I got no answer to my RFS for the packages on the debian-mentors list,
and now looking back, I'm not surprised. The relationships between the
packages are a bit complex, they use cdbs and I introduced automake
to them to make the library packaging easier. All this makes the
packaging a bit messy.
I don't have the motivation to re-work the packages into something
cleaner. Furthermore, keeping support for IFP makes them much more
complicated, since that means the interpreters must be packaged with a
separate shared library. All the necessary patches to the sources are
separated in debian/patches, though, so they should be easy to rip out.
I still think it would be nice to have at least glulxe packaged for
Debian, and that's why I'm retitling these to RFPs. I would close the
int-fiction-ifp RFP if it had been submitted by me. I don't consider
the gains IFP gives worth the complications anymore.
As for the others, I might be remotivated if there was some demand for
them, so please contact me if you care :)
Cheers,
