hey did i miss any emails?
sorry for the delayed response, i had to take care of things.
im not sure how to subscribe to this email list.

i have updated the website to describe right at the start, what this
program actually does.
and now there is a copyright disclaimer in the .bin.
openage.org/gg

thank you for the feedback. its very useful.

im not quite sure how to ask someone to create a package for this project
in debian.
if i make a bug report.. but this is not a bug. this is a program that im
trying to promote.

Should i send an email to wnpp@debian.org
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=wnpp%40debian.org>
?

kind regards,
Hermann,
Iceland
