Bug#417804: RFA: vegastrike -- A 3d space combat game
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the vegastrike suite of packages. The data
package is pretty big weighing in at ~150MB making it one of the larger
packages in Debian. It has a pretty good user base, and upstream is still
active. However, development is quite slow now-a-days, so don't expect
frequent releases. The code base is also quite large, consisting mostly
of C++, but with all of the game logic in python. A good maintainer
should also watch their message boards as people occasionally post
package related problems there. Several bugs in the BTS which could be
addressed. Due to the package size and being somewhat buggy, I have
traditionally not allowed this package into testing, however any adopter
can certainly change that (#295595).
The package description is:
Vegastrike is an OpenSource 3d Space Simulator. Currently in Beta
development, the project, at version 1.0, is to be a generic space
simulator. Current features include split-screen play, trading,
exploration and of course plenty of shoot 'em up action .
