Bug#679199: chipmunk-dev: please upgrade old version of chipmunk to newer version

[Andrew Engelbrecht]

Package: chipmunk-dev
Version: 5.3.4-1
Severity: normal


Hello,

Would you please upgrade chipmunk to version 6.1.1? The current version
in debian wheezy is quite old, and it would be nice to get a recent
version in before the freeze. If not, getting it in ustable would land
it in Ubuntu some day.

I ask because I'm using the library in a free software game I'm writing,
but cannot use the debian version, since it is missing a number of
features.

If time allows, it would probably be good to separate the headear files
from the demo application.


Thank you.

Sincerely,
-Andrew
