Bug#726355: assaultcube: new upstream version of AssaultCube
Package: assaultcube Followup-For: Bug #726355 Assaultcube 1.1.x is DEAD. All players have moved on to the newer 1.2.x servers. It is a waste of bandwidth and time to download this game from Debian. Since the package is no longer maintained and is basically worthless, it should be removed. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages assaultcube depends on: pn assaultcube-data ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-18 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 13.0.6-1+b2 ii libopenal11:1.17.2-4+b2 ii libsdl-image1.2 1.2.12-5+b8 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15+dfsg1-4 ii libstdc++66.3.0-18 ii libvorbisfile31.3.5-4 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii zlib1g1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 assaultcube recommends no packages. assaultcube suggests no packages.

I suggest the following general procedure: If you are the only uploader of a team maintained package and realize for whatever reason that you can't work on this package anymore, request an adopter from the team on this mailing list. If nobody steps up, IMO the best way forward is to file a RFA bug report for this specific package. That means that we try to fix RC bugs but won't add any new features to this package like new upstream releases. This package definitely needs a new maintainer and it doesn't matter whether it is later maintained within the Games Team again. If it becomes worse and the package tends to be a burden for everyone or is completely outdated and no longer in a releasable shape, it's better to orphan it with all possible consequences such as its removal from the archive. I think it's very positive that you are proactive. There are more packages I'm concerned about at the moment. I'm thinking especially about Bubbros but would like to see more wake-up calls in general on this list. Regards, Markus signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

But I have since stopped actively poking at it. For more info see my mail at http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/2012/06/msg6.html and a related AC license discussion in http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/2012/10/msg00075.html + thread. My impression is also that Gonéri (the reviewer/sponsor of my AC changes) is also not actively maintaining the assaultcube package. So, neither I, not do I suspect Gonéri (?) will be updating the assaultcube package to the new upstream 1.2 anytime soon. However, as mentioned in previous discussions, if anyone would be interested in picking it up, I'd be very happy to help out with some of the work. But I do not intend to drive it.

It's one of the bigger shooters for linux, so it would be a shame to orphan it. I can't maintain it as my internet is too bad to download it unfortuanately.
