If you plan to make a coherent code base, with a monotonically-increasing version (preferably according to the Semantic Versioning scheme <URL:http://semver.org/>) as you release changes, yes I'd like to package that in Debian. Rather than “other IF authoring tools”, I think it's better to focus the scope of the code base would be restricted to the standard output formats of Inform 6: Z-code and Ulx. There is already enough to populate such a package without going broader than that. I am converting this bug report to a Request For Package of ‘inform6-contrib’, do you think that's a good name for the code base described that you'll make versioned releases of? -- \ “A new swimming pool is rapidly taking shape since the | `\ contractors have thrown in the bulk of their workers.” | _o__) newspaper article, east Africa | Ben Finney <[email protected]>
