Request for help: Secondlife viewer

[Robin Cornelius]

Dear games team,

Apologies if this is out of protocol posting here like this.

I am working on package the secondlife (http://www.secondlife.com)
client/viewer for Debian,  so far we have a working package of the
latest version of the viewer packaged up with artwork and arch
independent data split in to a separate package. The viewer also
required a number of libraries not currently in Debian but we have
also packaged these up.

I though it would be a very good idea to consult the games team at
this stage as we do not have a Debian developer on board at this time.
 (for those that are interested I will apply for DD status in due
course, and this is an aim of mine)

The ITP's are as follows :-

#406335 ITP: secondlife-client -- a client for the Second Life online
virtual world
#412988 ITP: libcares -- asynchronous DNS library
#413986: ITP: xmlrpc-epi -- XML-RPC request
serialisation/deserialisation library;
#413987: ITP: openjpeg -- JPEG 2000 image compression codec library;
#450850: ITP: libllmozlib -- A wrapper library with simple API for
embedding of Gecko browsers

Currently the source archive files can be found at :-

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libllmozlib/libllmozlib_1.1.1-1.dsc

And we have plans to move them all to mentors as we progress.

The packages are all currently running on AMD64 and are in the process
of being checked on PPC and the secondlife viewer seems to function
correctly and is quite usable to enter the virtual world.

Really what we need at this stage is a a mentor to provide advice and
feedback on the packages, i have not yet posted any RFS emails to the
mentors list. As i though i would raise the project here first.

Many thanks for your help
