Hi all, My name is Chris Carr, and I took over as maintainer of the package angband, by agreement with the previous maintainer, in early 2009. He kindly mentored me for over a year through two releases, but we lost touch after he moved jobs last spring.
There is a new, stable upstream release of Angband - 3.2.0 - which I have packaged for Debian: http://www.terminalarrogance.com/angband_3.2.0-1_i386.deb http://www.terminalarrogance.com/angband_3.2.0-1_i386.changes http://www.terminalarrogance.com/angband_3.2.0-1.diff.gz http://www.terminalarrogance.com/angband_3.2.0-1.dsc The orig.tar.gz is at http://rephial.org/downloads/3.2/angband-3.2.0.tar.gz. The package is lintian-clean, except for one warning about >50% arch-independent data. I'm happy to split it into two packages, but don't know how to build two binary packages from a single source package. If someone can point me towards a package which does this using Manoj's scripts, I'll work it out. The package installs, upgrades and purges with no problems. The master upstream repo is http://github.com/angband/angband, and the packaging repo is git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/angband.git I've also packaged the sounds in a new non-free angband-audio package (ITP #576029): http://www.terminalarrogance.com/angband-audio_3.1.0-1_all.deb http://www.terminalarrogance.com/angband-audio_3.1.0-1_i386.changes http://www.terminalarrogance.com/angband-audio_3.1.0-1.diff.gz http://www.terminalarrogance.com/angband-audio_3.1.0-1.dsc The orig.tar.gz is at http://www.dubtrain.com/angband/dasp_v31.zip, but I had to convert them to oggs to work properly with the SDL mixer used by angband, so I made a new orig.tar.gz at: http://www.terminalarrogance.com/angband-audio_3.1.0.orig.tar.gz This works fine for the build (again, it's lintian-clean), but I'm a little fuzzy on whether this is the right thing to do to the orig.tar.gz file. If I try to package oggs against the original zip file of wavs, I get "unrepresentable changes to source". The package installs with no problems. There is one minor bug on removal which I'd like some help with (reinstating a config file from the angband package). I have created a repo at git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/angband-audio.git I also aspire to maintain angband-doc if Manoj agrees, and to package one or more angband variants. I'd be most grateful if someone with spare mentoring capacity wished to get in touch. I am not averse to learning new packaging methods if necessary.
