CrystalSpace (and more) packages

[Christian BAYLE]

Hi!

Looks great for me to see all this done
I think Barry made the last debian upload

debcheckout crystalspace get me some old code

Do you plan to put all the code in alioth git ?

I used to put packaging code upstream, if it's done differently, it
should probably good to remove the deb dir from cs svn and put a link on
the place where packaging code is.

As far as I can see ppa package is done with cdbs
I have also got a dh version from Devid

How all of you see next step?

Personnally, a common package with ubuntu would be good, with e,g code
in alioth git, I find dh easier to understand, so maybe we could take it
for crystalspace and use what you did for other packages.

This is just a suggestion.

As far as you want to take this in charge and nobody else claims for it,
I would approve your choice.

I can give you proper rights on alioth as far as everybody is ok

Any objection from pkg-games team ?

Cheers

Christian
