Hi,
DOSBox is really outdated, although 074.3 is the latest stable version, the gap between 'stable' and 'svn' has become enormous.
The DOSBox diskspace requirements are laughable, the binaries are only ~4mb. Packaging should not be that complex (1 binary, 1 configuration). A bi-weekly update like WINE, should be more than sufficient. And if I look at WINE, I can see multiple (10+) packages, so this could be a nice addition for DOSBox.
I could bow and grovel to anyone willing to implement this, but since I have a weak knee and am way too cool for those ancient practices. I would hereby humbly request to add the following packages to the repository:
- dosbox-svn (to experience the latest goodies)
./configure
- dosbox-svn-debug (since DOSBox bug reports are only accepted if also present in the svn)
./configure --enable-debug=heavy
Thanks mates!
