Hi Sebastien, I hope you can understand that I cannot make comment on certain parts of your email, my application to become a Debian Developer with uploads rights is ongoing. The package builds fine and passes all my basic tests on amd64 here. These tests are the same for all and an effort to make part of the process a standard that all must meet prior to an interested Debian Developer picking up the package for review and then possible upload to the distribution. I hope all find these tests fair. Your package is a fork of a fork of the vendor code base. I am unsure it should carry the name 'serious-engine' being that it is a derived project. My preference would be to have another name and its abilities and what it is now to be part of any included documentation. It would be beneficial to import the project into Debian's Salsa and enable Salsa CI testing. This may show problems not easily seen and may help with cross architecture work. Personally, I appreciate your efforts and will help you in any way I can to further getting the project in whatever form/name into Debian. Regards Phil -- Donations...
