RFS: kbtin (new)
Meow? I'd like to ask for a sponsor for new package kbtin. It's a MUD client, something that once was deemed dead, but judging by a recent influx of support requests, it is certainly not dead yet. Apparently, some people still prefer books (text games) to TV (mmorpgs). The package is lintian clean, ITP is #213361. It can be grabbed from: URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kbtin deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kbtin/kbtin_1.0.13.1-1.dsc It's a fork of existing package tintin++, however, these two have forked over 13 years ago so the codebase has little in common. Compared to tintin++, KBtin has: * no known buffer overflows (tintin++ has one for almost every command!) * SSL support * better Unicode support, also support for server charset different from client * handling of half-messages (split on network packet boundary) * running local commands (#run a debuild) and so on.

Hola ben! El 25/07/2009 a las 18:40 escribiste: Thanks for your comments. I'll begin by fixing standard version to 3.8.2 and fix the easiest tasks first. Great. We switched to cdbs after 0.14-1 though. This seems to do the job well. What's wrong with it ? cdbs is not documented and its way too difficult to follow/debug, I prefer that first packaging steps are taken using code where you can easily tell what's doing what.
