I have uploaded the complete version of Bullet with all the bells and whistles at mentors. https://mentors.debian.net/package/bullet I'd be glad if you could test the package and give some feedback whether you find it useful. My main concern about Bullet is that the SONAME frequently changes but also in a predictable manner. More precisely it changes with every new release which happens twice a year. So i want to stay in close contact with those maintainers who are actually using Bullet at the moment thus major breakage can be avoided. ;-) > IIRC, some DDs of Games Team are also part of DMM Team.

I have got some feedback from readers of devel-games but no one in the Games Team seemed interested in co-maintaining Bullet. I'm prepared to do the day-to-day maintenance but would appreciate a more experienced library packager who knows more about transitions and who can share some knowledge here. My hope is that Bullet will open the door for more sophisticated 3D applications and games [1] which will surely make Debian more interesting for professional 3D content developers and for users who appreciate complex games.
