Hi! Sorry, I've been terribly swamped with different stuff but I still haven't forgotten!

In mid january I'll be totally swamped again and won't be able to do much until after FOSDEM. > About Alioth, as said by Emmunuel, we were not allowed to create a > project because none of us are Debian developer/maintainer so we > hosted ourselves the "mamedeb" project.

I have little experience with Git, but I guess it'll be easy enough to import the current history. If you think having a dedicated MAME group/project is important, I can ask for one. If you think you can live with the Debian Games repository, that's ok also. I'll ask for a pkg-mame project after sending this email, in the meantime. > About debian/changelog, I would really like to keep a log of all the > initial work and bugfixes but I was not sure if I can put them as-is. Sure, I'm sure you can. If you want to describe anything specific of the packaging (other than the history), README.source or even copyright might be good places. Depends on the content. > About the "longest path ever" :) I have put the files into subfolders in > order to separate "media" and link files from the "core" debian files. > There are no other reason, so I'll put them on the debian folder.

It's not uncommon to find _ in paths, but it'll work in the meanwhile. I normally use !, which is pretty hard to find in a filename. > MAN pages are completed now: ldresample, mame-regrep, mame-split, > mame-src2html, mame-srcclean, unidasm and mame.

Come on, I need to build a new mame box for our house in the mountain! :P Jordi -- Jordi Mallach Pérez -- Debian developer http://www.debian.org/ jo...@sindominio.net jo...@debian.org http://www.sindominio.net/ GnuPG public key information available at http://oskuro.net/
