Bug#1070845: godot (3.6+ds-1) to be uploaded to Debian unstable in a couple of day

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that we have been working on a couple of
fixes for Godot 3 at https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/godot3 and I
plan to upload 3.6+ds-2 within a couple of days.

Once 3.6+ds-2 is uploaded, I will branch it to godot3/debian/latest
and change the source package name to godot3 in preparation for having
Godot 3.6 and 4.3 in Trixie in parallel. The work for Godot 4.3 will
continue on branch debian/latest and using the source package name
godot. The binary packages will be versioned following the current
pattern. The branch debian/latest will have the watch file updated to
always look at the most recent version possible (4.x) while the
godot3/debian/latest watch file will continue to look at latest in 3.x
series. We might of course still tweak some plans in discussion with
Travis, or discover something while implementing this, but overall
things look good, and there are no known blockers or need for help.
This email is mostly to share information with those vested earlier in
the package.

The main reason things are smooth is
1) we got Salsa CI working and passing for this package, which quickly
helped find and validate fixes for all remainin issues and
2) Travis already made a mock import and things are looking great for Godot 4.3

I also wanted to voice that Travis is doing an excellent work, paying
attention to all the details at play in Debian packaging. I hope he
will continue doing more in Debian!

If you want to participate in packaging, feel free to check out the
package status and file Merge Requests with whatever improvements you
wish to see in Godot.
