Bug#406335: Pinging the ITP and updating news



Ok so this is still very much being worked on so pinging the ITP to keep
alive.

Firstly on my test repository apt.byteme.org.uk we have stable release
version 1.19.1 and release candidate 1.20.8 available and i have been
tracking releases pretty closely.

Due to Linden Research Inc's current trademark policy the viewer has
been renamed from slviewer or secondlife-client etc to "Open Metaverse
viewer" This could be changed again in the future as we are not in
debian yet anyway. I am actively talking to some Lindens about how to
proceed with the use of their trademarks for this kind of packaging of
their viewer and we are finding examples already in debian of this kind
of situation. Its just taking a while as it has to go through their
legal team. But untill this situation is resolved I must obey the
trademark policy to protect myself and Debian.

The VCS for the source code is on the move too. It is being/has been
moved to a git repository under the pkg-games on Alioth so if you want
to get the latest sources for the debian package it can be found at

http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-games/slviewer.git
http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-games/slviewer-artwork.git

but note these git repository's build "Open Metaverse viewer" or
"omvviewer" packages due to the rename.

Also i am putting some details on the debian wiki at

http://wiki.debian.org/Games/OpenMetaverseViewer

Regards

Robin
