The package is already in Ubuntu:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openbve

As such I would assume most of the hard work has already been done.

Hi,

The answer to "why is X not in Debian" for free software packages is mostly: 
because nobody has done the work (yet.)

I haven't looked at openbve at all, but if it's indeed free software and 
does not have dependencies on non-free software, there shouldn't be much 
preventing anybody to create a pakckage. Note that you don't have to be a 
registered Debian developer to create a package: you can find somebody to 
upload it to Debian if you create a package that suffices Debian's 
standards.

Note that for openbve, a "Request for Package" has already been filed:

so at least one other person was interested in getting a package at some 
time.

cheers

o linus.kaltenbach :

Hi, bitte beachte, dass dies eine englisch-sprachige Mailliste ist.

They wonder, why there is no OpenBVE in the archives.

|openBVE is a free-as-in-freedom train simulator placed in the public

They wonder whether it's possible to include it to debian, favorible in
the beta version.
