Bug#588377:
I would like to know what is the status of this ITP, as it has been
inactive for almost a year now.
I've uploaded packages on mentors.debian.net
(http://mentors.debian.net/package/dwarf-fortress and
http://mentors.debian.net/package/dwarf-fortress-mod-default),
hoping to make things moving forward, but I do not want to
hijack any upcoming release.
I'm not a DM and I would definitely like to help if there is any need.
I don't see any showstopper not to have this game packaged, appart
from architecture and libraries issues (that I've temporary solved in
my packages using embed libraries until Debian has full support for
multi-arch).
Although the original game does not really respect any file system
standard, as mentionned in a comment above, this can also be
easily solved by setting the current folder before running the game to
an XDG_CACHE_HOME subfolder, with symlinks to XDG_CONFIG_HOME for game
config and XDG_DATA_HOME for game data (copied once from the system
game data in /usr/share, and updated as needed).
