Hi! I've been the maintainer of tuxracer, a codebase that has been dead upstream for quite some time, after upstream went proprietary. PlanetPenguin Racer (ppracer), a tuxracer-derivat based on the last GPL version of tuxracer, has recently been packaged and uploaded into the archive by Alexander Schmehl. As ppracer is actively maintained and superceeds tuxracer, I wish to remove tuxracer from the archive, including sarge (i know, it's short), and provide users with a transition path to a same-but-superiour game.
I am not sure on the necerssary requirement, but are the following steps
correct for a smooth transition?
tuxracer, tuxracer-data => planetpenguin-racer, planetpenguin-racer-data
1. Upload new ppracer packages with
planetpenguin-racer Conflicts/Replaces: tuxracer
planetpenguin-racer-data Conflicts/Replaces: tuxracer-data
2. After above has been accepted into the archive,
upload empty,transitional tuxracer(-data) packages with
tuxracer Depends: planetpenguin-racer
tuxracer-data Depends: planetpenguin-racer-data
3. post-sarge, ask for removal of tuxracer packages
Thanks for your advice.
