Have libsfml2 and its brothers and sisters out in experimental. Then at some point do a transition of libsfml1.6 to libsfml2. I don't think there are any games which depend on libsfml 1.6 or atleast there weren't any games which depended on libsfml1.6 I could find so it probably would be a self-contained transition. You will need to write a .ben file for it. release.debian.org/transitions/ http://ben.debian.net/ I have also explicitly used your sponsorer's email id so he can also share with us when he would be committing libsfml2 to the archive (or is the ball in ftp-master's hands now ? ) Looking forward to know more about the status of the package. > Regards, > James -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
