Hello David,

i intended to send you an email to inform that i'm packaging your software but 
i have been busy with your software because this's going to be my first 
debian package.

Nowadays i'm working with the next description:

Description short: chess database management application

Description long:
 ChessDB is a chess database application with a grafical user interface. With
 it you can browse databases of chess games, edit games and search for games   
 by  various criteria. ChessDB uses its own compact and fast database format, 
 but can convert to and from PGN.
 .
 ChessDB is based on Shane's Chess Information Database (Scid) that is no
 longer developed. ChessDB used Scid's code, but has various enhancements, bug
 fixes and new features. Nothing has been removed from Scid at all.

I think the package is just ready so i'm going to ask for a sponsor to upload 
the package to debian unstable.

Thanks,

--
