Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected]
Control: affects -1 + src:gnubg
I intend to orphan the gnubg package. The package is in good shape, but
I rarely use it and am not the best person to continue to maintain it.
The package description is:
GNU Backgammon is a strong backgammon program (world-class with a bearoff
database installed) usable either as an engine by other programs or as a
standalone backgammon game. In addition to supporting simple play, it
also has extensive analysis features, a tutor mode, adjustable
difficulty, and support for exporting annotated games. It can be played
either from a GTK+ graphical interface, optionally with a 3D board, or
from a simple text console.
Packaging is on Salsa and uses git-buildpackage with an explicit patch
queue. The package is in generally good shape. Upstream is active, although
resource-constrained and could use help with porting the package to newer
GTK+ ecosystem packages. Experience with the GTK+ ecosystem is a huge plus
in maintaining this package and is one of the reasons why I'm not the best
maintainer for it.
There is one Debian-specific patch to move the location of some optional
databases to /var. This approach should be rethought in conjunction with
upstream so that Debian no longer has to carry a patch.
All recent uploads have been done with dgit. Obviously, whether to continue
using that tool is up to whoever adopts it.
