I'm maintaining ChessDB

but don't have a Debian system here, so are unable to do any testing.
Someone sent me a binary for Debian, which I put on the Sourceforge site:
http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=184864use_mirror=p
uzzlefilename=chessdb_3.6.7-1_i386.deb85831364
but that is for an older release.
I understand the name proposed by 'zako' is too long. Can I suggest:
ChessDB - A multi-platform chess database
Note the mix of upper and lower case in ChessDB. I've no idea of your
conventions for Debian, so I'm sure if you want a unix name 'chessdb'
would be appropriate.
Sorry I can't be or more assistance.
Hello David,
i intended to send you an email to inform that i'm packaging your software but
i have been busy with your software because this's going to be my first
debian package.
Nowadays i'm working with the next description:
Description short: chess database management application
Description long:
ChessDB is a chess database application with a grafical user interface. With
it you can browse databases of chess games, edit games and search for games
by various criteria. ChessDB uses its own compact and fast database format,
but can convert to and from PGN.
.
ChessDB is based on Shane's Chess Information Database (Scid) that is no
longer developed. ChessDB used Scid's code, but has various enhancements, bug
fixes and new features. Nothing has been removed from Scid at all.
I think the package is just ready so i'm going to ask for a sponsor to upload
the package to debian unstable.
Thanks,
