Hi!
I see you are the maintainer of Battle for Wesnoth (among lots of other
things); first off, as someone who's played Wesnoth over the years using
your packages, thanks for maintaining this game!
Very welcome!
Do you think it would be feasible for us to provide a wesnoth-devel
(maybe
"wesnoth-unstable" would be a better name) package tracking the
odd-numbered unstable/development release series? (For those on-list not
familiar with upstream's development cycle, Wesnoth upstream maintains two
parallel branches simultaneously; a stable branch, which is always
even-numbered, and a development branch, which is always odd-numbered. So,
for example, we're currently on 1.12 and 1.13).
It'd be nice if it was possible for both packages to coexist on the same
system: the main advantage I see from providing a wesnoth-unstable is that
it lets people (be they users reporting bugs or developers working on addon
content) easily test against the latest development release in addition to
the latest stable release.
I can see the benefits, and it's been suggested before, usually when I
upgrade rawhide to the newest release and people complain about
backwards-incompatible saved games. I'm not sure how feasible
parallel-installabilty is for wesnoth, but I'll keep it in mind. At the
moment Wesnoth's 1.13 branch doesn't build on rawhide due to a bug in their
python code, so we have some time.
