As the upstream is working with Mercurial, at the moment we were talking about migrating to my GitLab account and the procedure to start the packaging and permission to make small changes to reduce the huge amount of lintian errors and warnings. Please follow the email contacts I had with the upstream.[1] [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=919540 I'm sorry for giving you a poor opinion that I only make corrections for typos in my comments, please check my comments again. :( I do not want to be the author of the software. All the work I do, I'm always communicating with the upstream. The reason is to help the upstream get their software in Debian. :) BlastEm (0.6.2-1) found in mentors.d.o[2] is the most current one with some fixes for which the upstream itself made the changes to start Debian packaging.[3][4] [2] https://mentors.debian.net/package/blastem [3] https://gitlab.com/coringao/blastem/commits/master [4] https://www.retrodev.com/repos/blastem Thanks! -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Carlos Donizete Froes [a.k.a coringao] ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ - https://wiki.debian.org/coringao ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ GPG: 4096R/B638B780 ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀ 2157 630B D441 A775 BEFF D35F FA63 ADA6 B638 B780
