GtkRadiant for Debian GNU/Linux

Warning: cross-posted to 2 mailing-lists.

Hi,

I've packaged gtkradiant for Debian, now almost a year ago,
but it's not made 
it in yet.
I hoped it would gain some more attention from normal
end-users once it was 1 
apt-get away to install 

I recently refreshed it from the zerowing svn repository,
revision 170 from 
20070511, because I've just started at a new job and have
very little time 
for it anymore. 

It should work on i386, amd64 and ppc (untested) at
least[1], and it's lintian 
and linda clean. The debian packaging information is on:

http://mentors.debian.net/cgi
-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=gtkradiant

if you like you can download the .diff.gz file, gunzip it,
and patch the 
pristine source with it. It should only create a debian/
subdirectory with 
various and sundry debian voodoo 

N.B. in the debian directory I packaged a few images
(Splash-Debian.png and 
Debian.jpg) which are from the Debian desktop-base package,
copyright Mirko 
Hufnagel (that one's public domain I thought) and Gary Burke
, respectively. 
This was so that debian users can start playing around with
a few textures.

Good luck,
Frits

P.S. [1]: probably more once I figure out how SConstruct
calls the other 
architectures from the buildd logs. Need to adapt included
script 
debian/get_arch.tmp.sh for that.

Thanks for your work Frits! It's good to see a native Linux
package of
GtkRadiant. Maybe namespace could add this information to
the wiki.
