Comments

During a previous attempt at RFS, it was noted that my packaging of quadrilateralcowboy uses my personal fork of the codebase on GitHub as upstream.  A reason that I did this was to remove vendored libraries that should be linked dynamically in Debian instead.

However: during RFS review it became apparent[1] that using Debian's Files-Excluded packaging feature may be a more appropriate way to do this.

I would like to implement that and to use the original developer's source repository instead of my own as the package's upstream, if feasible.  It does not have git-tagged releases, and that may be one other challenge/consideration during packaging.

This is now implemented.

The rework involved repacking of the upstream game engine source code, so I've added a '+dfsg' tag to the package version, and have re-uploaded the resulting Deban source package to the mentors.debian.net site here.
