Ok, then, pending 1) some resolution to the gnome-gtkmm issue, and 2) my acceptance as a maintainer, I'll call this a formal announcement of my intent-to-package. And yes, I'll be more than happy to follow your lead, Ben. Believe me! :-) Official announcement: I intend to package gnome-hack, a gnome-ized version of the classic game Nethack, published under the, er, Nethack license. BTW, while I'm at it, has the Nethack license been hashed out? It's obviously designed to look like a stripped-down GPL, but I'm a little worried about some of the anti-"commercial" clauses, especially since the term "commercial" is not really defined. I've read it twice, and I've come to three different opinions about whether it should be in non-free or not. But the license is long enough that I'd rather not post it if it's already been discussed. In any case, I won't be able to release this until Marcus sorts out the various flavors of gtk--, because I'll need one with gnome support. -- Chris Waters [EMAIL PROTECTED] | I have a truly elegant proof of the or [EMAIL PROTECTED] | above, but it is too long to fit into http://www.dsp.net/xtifr | this .signature file.
