Hi, this is the fourth of my seven sponsoring requests for packages related to Interactive Fiction and the Glk library specification. I'm posting them separately for clarity and CCing the corresponding ITP for each package. Apologies for the number of emails. Any comments on the packages are welcome.
The packages more or less depend on one another. See the end of this mail for a crude dependency graph. All of the packages use cdbs and libtool, and most use automake as well. Name: glkloader ITP: #338477 License: BSD Download: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/glkloader/ Description: dynamic loading front end for Glk libraries Glk is a cross-platform, portable user interface library specification. It can handle simple graphics but does best at text, which can contain formatting and hyper-links. It is targeted primarily for interactive fiction (text adventure) systems. . Glk implementations exist for X (see the libxglk0 package), Curses-based terminals (libglkterm0), stdio-based terminals (libcheapglk0), Mac OS, DOS, Windows, and several other platforms. . . This library does not provide a real Glk implementation, just a dynamic loading front-end that lets the actual Glk library be chosen at runtime. You need a Glk implementation (meaning any package that provides glk-0.6.1-implementation) before this library actually becomes usable. This package depends on libglkterm0, and recommends/suggests the others. . The Glk API version implemented by this library is 0.6.1. The dependency graph of the packages is crudely cheapglk | \ | \ V V glkterm xglk | / | / V V glkloader | \ | \ V V nitfol glulxe | | | | V V int-fiction-ifp Cheers, -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
