Package: xboard Version: 4.7.3-1 Severity: wishlist 4.8 features many new features, including support for new large shogi variants, and overall better support for non-chess ("xboard @shogi" and friends), including the ability for a compatible engine to declare itself to xboard.
I have packaged hachu some time ago, as the only available DFSG program able to play those large variants (I've kept it in experimental till now, since there is no GUI yet in unstable to play them). Having a compatible xboard there would allow to start working on hachu/xboard integration, and to give more precise feedback to upstream to make sure that those new features are packaging-friendly. A master-20140119 snapshot was tagged recently, it looks like a good version to package. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xboard depends on: ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libcairo2 1.12.16-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.28.2-1+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.36.4-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.8-2 ii librsvg2-2 2.40.0-1 ii libsm6 2:1.2.1-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-1 ii libxaw7 2:1.0.12-1 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.1-1 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.4-1 Versions of packages xboard recommends: ii fairymax 4.8q-2 ii xfonts-100dpi 1:1.0.3 ii xfonts-75dpi 1:1.0.3 Versions of packages xboard suggests: ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 300-1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
