(dropping bugreport, cc Kees against CoC just to be sure…) Hi Kees,

Please make your packages available somewhere, preferable mentors.debian.net. You reduce your change to find a sponsor as it complicates the process: A possible sponsor can't have a quick glance at your package, other mentees can't do a pre-real-sponsor-check easily and so on… Further more you might want to contact the debian games team, too. They have a vcs armed and ready and a few more possible sponsors… And the other doom-engine (prdoom) is maintained in this team. Beside that only by looking at the control file: - out of date standard version - do you have a reason for that? properly not. - prdoom package description suggests freedoom to get IWAD files (whatever this is), can these be used by your engine, too? - you provide doom-engine -- does your package really satisfy the needs of the packages who depend on an the virtual doom-engine package? - I can't understand the (short) description: Is it a game or just an engine? Either way, enhanced compared to what - or even: I don't know doom, can you write a description which tells me still if i want to install this package? And what the hell is a "source port"? (my little brother searching for cool new games will ask)… The debian-l10n-english mailinglist can be a great help in that regard. (uh and no, i am not interested and not even a D{D,M}, i just had 5 minutes to burn while waiting for a 'make' to finish… another indication that you should upload your packages somewhere to enable short drive-by reviews…) Best regards David Kalnischkies P.S.: You can't follow "most of the policy"… No gray shades available, only black (violate) or white (obey)… ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
