Bug#769673: RFS: lletters/0.1.95+gtk2-4 [ITA, RC]
Dear Vincent,
Thanks for your review.
The purpose of debian/patches/debian-changes-0.1.95+gtk2-3.2.patch
was to switch to source format 3.0 (quilt). It contains the changes
between the upstream and Debian version 3.2. Many files were changed,
not just autoconf-related ones, so I need this patch to incorporate those changes.
Why use 3.0 (quilt)? Beacuse some sponsors insist on it, so I thought it's somewhat like mandatory... If you prefer source format 1.0, this patch is not needed, of course.
There are some other patches, which are not strictly needed, but I thought they improve the package, I could explain in detail if you wish.
Yes, I could adopt lletters-media if this is a precondition for adopting lletters. I'm not familiar with what team-maintaining is,
at a glance it seems that lletters is not well suited for Games team.
Regards,
Dmitry
