The game is dfsg-free now and will replace openlugaru.<\/li>\n<li>I uploaded <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/fifechan\">fifechan<\/a> to unstable and packaged new upstream versions of <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/fife\">fife<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/unknown-horizons\">unknown-horizons<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/adonthell-data\">adonthell-data<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/hyperrogue\">hyperrogue<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>I fixed bugs in <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/bloboats\">bloboats<\/a> (#864534), <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/lordsawar\">lordsawar<\/a> (RC #866988), <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/kraptor\">kraptor<\/a> (#826423), <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/pathogen\">pathogen<\/a> (#845991), <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/fretsonfire\">fretsonfire<\/a> (#866426), <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/blockout2\">blockout2<\/a> (#826416), <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/boswars\">boswars<\/a> (#827112), <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/kanatest\">kanatest<\/a> (RC #868315, fix also backported to Stretch), <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/overgod\">overgod<\/a> (#827114), <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/morris\">morris<\/a> (#829948, #721834, #862224), <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/mousetrap\">mousetrap<\/a> (#726842), <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/alsoft-conf\">alsoft-conf<\/a> (#784052, #562898) and <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/nikwi\">nikwi<\/a> (#835625)<\/li>\n<li>I uploaded a new revision of <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/clanlib\">clanlib<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/teg\">teg<\/a> fixing Perl transition bugs. The patches were provided by gregor herrmann. I added myself to Uploaders in case of teg because the package was missing a human maintainer.<\/li>\n<li>I adopted <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/trackballs\">trackballs<\/a> after I discovered <a href=\"https:\/\/bugs.debian.org\/cgi-bin\/bugreport.cgi?bug=868983\">#868983<\/a> where Henrique de Moraes Holschuh called attention to a new fork of <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/trackballs\/trackballs\/\">Trackballs<\/a>. The current version was broken and unplayable and it was only a matter of time before the game was removed from Debian. I could fix a couple of bugs, forwarded some issues upstream and I believe a nice game was saved.<\/li>\n<li>I uploaded <a href=\"https:\/\/tracker.debian.org\/pkg\/bullet\">Bullet<\/a> 2.86.1 to unstable and completed another Bullet transition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Debian Java<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Almost all PDFsam dependencies were accepted into the archive this month. I had to update some of them and removed patches that were needed for the initial bootstrapping. I also uploaded libmetadata-extractor-java to unstable.
