[Pkg-pascal-devel] Castle Game Engine 6.0 release in Debian

[Paul Gevers]

Hi Michalis,

Warning for your next upstream release, there is still a patch coming
from me to fix the install target in your Makefile -> permissions and
creation of directories if not existing yet (current version attached,
but still needs testing).

And thanks for the response below, it really helped.

Ok, for now, I'll ship them with the fp-units. However, aren't some of
the tools not useful outside cge and/or pascal even?

Because this file is also available in Debian, I really want to symlink
to the version shipped by libgradle-plugins-java. Your version seems to
me to be much older than the one in Debian, is that intensional?

I recommend to maintain only one version. And if you are going to create
the man-page from the help anyways, I'll do the same in Debian. As you
know, I always want to build from the "preferred form for modification"
