Bug#585480: RFP: puae -- Amiga Emulator for *nix Systems



Hi,

have there been any recent developments regarding the packaging?

I just stumbled across this RFP since a new version of WinUAE was just
released as of June 2 [1] which now has the nice feature that it ships
with the free kickstart replacement developed by the AROS community [2].

This means, that WinUAE can be used without having to use the original
kickstart ROMs. So I think it would have been a nice idea to include the
AROS kickstart in the Debian 'puae' package as well. This way, the emulator
will be able to run without any further non-free components which
means that 'puae' could go into 'main'.

I am btw the maintainer of the 'kcemu' package [3] which emulates 8 bit
computers made in former East Germany and I would be glad to help with
the packaging of 'puae'.

I also think it would be ok to drop 'euae' and 'uae' in favour of 'puae' since
the former two don't appear to be actively maintained anymore.

Regards,

Adrian
