Hi,

Ive just uploaded pink-pony 1.3.1-1 to Debian [1] [2], and I've noticed
that I should have separated the packages in program and data [3], instead
of having it all packaged into one single package. The main advantage of
that approach -usually done with games and with other programs that have
considerable architecture-independent data- is that the space occupied in
the mirrors is much less.

I was considering fixing it myself and doing a newer upload, but I thought
about what we were talking at DebConf about being able to provide
reasonably easy tasks for people who are starting, so there it goes. If
anyone is willing to do it, they will of course count with my help and my
time, and -obviously- I will be available for doing the upload to the
archive.

Greetings and thanks,
Miry
