And the > removal of the upstream copy of libboost? The following is my opinion only. In its current state, vegastrike will not make it into lenny; it has a RC bug which needs an upgrade to the newer version. The opinion of the ftpmasters on the current vegastrike-data is that it is insanely huge - we don't want mirrors to waste 1 GB of disk space for a package with a popcon score of 200. The only way now to get it into lenny (freeze is starting pretty soon now) is to manage somehow to produce a lighter version of the vegastrike-data package - a source tarball of around 200MB to 250MB would be acceptable. If you feel like doing that, please do it very quickly and have a look at the thread there: http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11276 You might want to downscale some of the textures in order to make them smaller. In this case, you might find the gimp-dds package of use. If you manage to produce a lighter version of vegastrike-data for the 0.5 version that works with vegastrike 0.5 in SVN, please contact me as soon as possible, I'll upload it. Cheers, Vincent, who's unfortunately way too busy to take care of that himself. -- Vincent Fourmond, Debian Developer http://vince-debian.blogspot.com/ The moon was high now, in a sky as black as a cup of coffee that wasn't very black at all. -- Terry Pratchet, Men at arms Vincent, listening to Mercy Street (Peter Gabriel) _______________________________________________ Pkg-games-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-devel ------------------------------------------------------- -- Regards, Andres
