  Description     : 2D space trading combat game

 NAEV is a 2D space trading and combat game, in a similar
 vein to Escape Velocity.

 NAEV is played from a top-down perspective, featuring fast-paced combat,
 many ships and outfits, and a large galaxy to explore. The game is highly
 open-ended, letting players proceed at their own paces.

 This package contains the data files for Naev.

(For reference, #609295 is my ITP for Naev itself.)

Hi,

Just a quick update on the current status of my Naev packaging...

Naev is mostly ready to be uploaded to the Debian archives, except for
the fact that the images currently can't all be rebuilt from source.
(My DD insists on being able to rebuild all the images in Naev's
source tree from scratch.) Problem with that is:

1) the source for many of those images reside in several different
Github repositories (more of a pain to package)
2) 2) some of those images require Blender, and upstream only has
Blender scripts compatible with 2.4, not the latest version (2.5) of
Blender in the archives, so all those scripts have to be rewritten

If anybody would like to help with this, I'd gladly appreciate it.

My current packaging can be found in the Debian Games svn repository
(mentors.d.n is a bit out-of-date):
$ svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-games/packages/trunk/naev/

Kind regards,
- Vincent Cheng

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging naev-data. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of naev-data back from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 14 months.

If you are still interested in packaging naev-data, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 622982 ITP: naev-data -- 2D space trading combat game (data)
 owner 622982 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <622982@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
