[Alexandre Detiste]

Hi,

I spent some time merging your advices & Simon's ones [1]
in a way that don't trigger new lintian false positives.

I'll see for the next release if that's usefull; now this part of the code is 
not used anyway.

I sent a pull request for this lintian advice:
 "I: corsix-th: spelling-error-in-binary usr/lib/games/corsix-th/CorsixTH 
occured occurred"

I feel this problem isn't enought important to warrant a patch for 0.50.

The patch for the segfault I found in Arch packaging is well there.

Greets & best wishes,

Alexandre

The package looks good to me. Please add the missing license of tinyxml
to debian/copyright. After that I will upload the package.

Cheers,

Markus

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your interest in Debian.

For creating packages and including software in Debian, please
consult/use the debian-mentors list (which I have CC'ed) in place of
wnpp@d.o (BCC'ed). :)

Thanks,
~Niels
