Hi Debian games Maintainers, I was looking at a possible project to tackle and found xball interesting and something I could fix and update. I am not familiar with Debian packaging (I am a longtime Mageia user), but have contributed to Debian - Fontforge, libuninameslist, libspiro. ....currently just libuninameslist and libspiro at this time. Instead of keeping the package as a Debian package which I'm not familiar with, I converted the Debian package xball to a more generic package that is easier for various distros to import. To meet Debian policy, I think you only need to edit one of the ./configure prefixes to meet the /usr/games directory policy used by Debian. The minor value went from 0 to 1 due to all the updating around packaging, desktop, X11 directory, and the fixes needed to build under current distros. A ./configure compatible "dist" tarball is included here: https://github.com/JoesCat/xball/releases/tag/v3.1.0 Hopefully you find this upgraded xball usable once again by current Debian. Thanks, Joe
