Bug#989894: ITP: (reintroduce) ghextris -- A Tetris-like game on a hexagonal grid

2021-06-15 Thread plugwash
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: plugwash 

* Package name: ghextris
  Version : 0.9.0
  Upstream Author : Mikko Rauhala
* URL : http://mjr.iki.fi/software/ghextris
* License : GPLv2+
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : A Tetris-like game on a hexagonal grid

The object of the game is basically the same as in Tetris; use the pieces 
that fall down from the top of the game area to construct fully filled lines, 
which will then disappear to make room for more pieces. The twist is that the 
pieces are composed of hexagonal blocks, so your visualization skills will get
an extra workout. 

ghextris was in Debian from Sarge through to Stretch, but was removed due
to dependencies on obsolete gnome2 related libraries. I have ported it to a
more modern python3/python3-gi/gtk3/glade technology stack and intend to
reintrouce it.

I intend to keep the package within the games team,



Re: What are desired semantics for /etc/shells?

FYI I just noticed another inconsistency: on my merged /usr systems
(installed as such, not converted later w/ usrmerge), /etc/shells
contains both /bin/ and /usr/bin/ paths for some shells, but not all
(e.g. no /usr/bin/sh, no /bin/screen).

  $ sort /etc/shells
  # /etc/shells: valid login shells
  /bin/bash
  /bin/dash
  /bin/rbash
  /bin/sh
  /usr/bin/bash
  /usr/bin/dash
  /usr/bin/rbash
  /usr/bin/screen
  /usr/bin/tmux

Re: filtering ITP in debian-devel (was: Reconsider sending ITP bugs to debian-devel: a new list?)

I've read numerous people complaining about filtering. If I'm not
mistaking, the BTS adds this header:

X-Debian-PR-Package: wnpp

so filtering based on that seems to be a much nicer way than just using
the subject line. Is this correct?

Cheers,

I don't like this kind of phrasing. It reads like "if you can't take the
heat, stay out of the kitchen". Indeed working in Debian does mean
coping with a lot of mail. I personally think this is a problem for
attracting newer, perhaps younger contributors; I think it has been for
a while and I think it will only get worse. Coping strategies for a lot
of mail include using decent mail software (which I do); although I
would like that not to be a barrier for entry; using mail filters (which
I do; I've written elsewhere in this thread how that is not ideal for
ITP mail to -devel); and targetting mailing lists: which is what I was
proposing.

As it happens the list I was proposing already exists; debian-wnpp. So
my proposal becomes: we should send a digest mail from debian-wnpp to
debian-devel instead of all initial ITP mails as we do today.

For the avoidance of any doubt, I (thread originator) and not doing
this: I don't use Evolution and haven't participated in the other
thread.
