Cool! That's encouraging.

I just pushed something to the git repositories:
src:flare-engine -> binary-any:flare-engine
src:flare -> binary-all:flare
Then, flare depend on flare-engine, which in turn conflicts with old
versions of flare before the split. Since one of the packages is named
flare, users of the old version will get the new version, and the fact
that flare-engine (which is requested by any part of the ecosystem)
conflicts with all parts of the old organisation, the transition
should go ok.
I renamed the engine to flare-engine, and added a shell wrapper to the
flare-game package that is named flare and run the flare engine with
that game.
I need to rename the man pages before we can upload it.

I didn't look at it.

Indeed, that's a large package :/ My SSD is getting full.

I played polymorph maybe one year ago and it was playable as is, as
far as I remember. You just had to hack something to make both games
cohabit together. I'll check it out again.
