Also, note that debian has a golly package: http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/golly.html It will be automatically synced into ubuntu once the new version (Intrepid) is opened, which will happen in a few days, so it's probably not a good idea to start work on a new package now... (though it's a bit late to be saying this) The debian package has a number of patches applied to fix 64-bit issues, and provides manpages, among other things. I don't know if you've applied similar ones to your copy, as you didn't provide the source For future reference when making packages, your package also turns up a large number of lintian warnings - run lintian on your .changes file to see them. Of course, some of them (new-package-should-close-itp-bug, unknown-section universe) can be ignored as debian specific, but ones like "executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/share/golly/Patterns/Still-Lifes/1998-eater-stamp-collection.rle" ought to be fixed. That said, again, in this case it's probably best to just wait for the universe sync - there's no need to diverge from debian needlessly. -- [needs-packaging] Package Golly, cellular automaton simulator https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
