Hi,

Are there any updates on this? I'm interested in seeing 0 A.D. in Debian's repositories as well; would you like any help in packaging it?

Kind regards,

Hi Vincent,

I did the initial packaging work a few months ago now [1]. I don't remember very well. I think I had working packages, but there was some kind of hack needed to configure properly (as I remember). There was also a couple of libraries shipped with the archive, some of them were not part of Debian last year.

You are welcome if you want to take over this ITP or work on the svn. I am not sure I'll have plenty of time for 0ad this month.

Regards,
Bertrand

I'd be glad to help you out with the packaging, although I admit I've had very little experience with svn. Is there some sort of quick-start guide for working with Debian's svn repositories?

Aside from that, I seem to be having quite a bit of trouble getting 0 A.D. to build itself and run, as documented here [1].
