Bug#850096: Make git snapshot? (2011 → 2016)

[Trent W. Buck]

Package: gargoyle-free
Version: 2011.1a-2
Severity: wishlist

It's been a LONG time since upstream garglk had a stable release.

The current git master includes major interpreter upgrades (below),
as well as bugfixes for some specific games.

Is it worth Debian releasing a version like 2011.1a+git20161017-1 ?
