Source: freespace2
Version: 3.7.4+repack-1.1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected]
Dear maintainer,
After looking at your freespace2 package [1], I found that this package
received no maintainer updates in the past 5 years and was not in good
shape. It has a FTBFS bug [2] and it was removed from testing
6 months ago.
As a result, I am filing an ITS (Intent to Salvage) request
against your package according to section 5.12 in Debian's Developers'
Reference [1].
My current plan to maintain the package under the umbrella of the
Debian Games Team, to package the latest upstream release, clean up
packaging and review/fix all Debian bug reports.
A MR has already been posted to Salsa [3]
Full disclosure: I will need a sponsor to upload the package in the
archive.
Please let me know whether you are still willing to maintain this
package. If you find it necessary to pause the ITS process,
please let me know immediately by replying this bug report.

I have processed merge request and identified few more changes that have
to be made before upload. Nothing major, we should be able to finish
things within few days.
I'm closing this ITS issue as we can continue to work normally on the
package.
Currently I'm staging remaining changes in
https://salsa.debian.org/onlyjob/freespace2
but later I'm going to move this repo to games-team or port changes
to existing repository there.
Sébastien, please work with me on remaining issues -- we're almost done.
I'm mainly concerned about lack of "game-data-packager" instructions
and lack of launch instructions/example. I can't run any campaigns
and new release broke compatibility with "freespace2-launcher-wxlauncher".

The truth is, one who seeks to achieve freedom by petitioning those in
power to give it to him has already failed, regardless of the response.
To beg for the blessing of "authority" is to accept that the choice is
the master's alone to make, which means that the person is already, by
definition, a slave.
