Hi Steve, Actually, I filed an *Intend* to package bug. Fortunately, I'm a Debian Developer with upload privileges -- so, I can make this a reality :)
Just wanted to say thanks for creating the game and releasing it on such friendly terms. I've been looking for a nice action game and ran into it when i was doing research on force-feedback under Linux. It was very straightforward to package as well so I've just uploaded it to the archive. It will probably take a little time until it makes it in, but you should see it soon (definitely in time for the wheezy release). Also, I believe this will get it into Ubuntu as well, after a fashion. If you're interested, I have a couple of minor patches that I made which would be of general use. Let me know... Thanks again, --Joe On Sat, Jun 16, 2012 at 07:23:20PM -0700, Stephen Cameron wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks for filing the bug report requesting packaging for debian, glad you > like my little game well enough to bother with doing that.
