[needs-packaging] Battle just started game

[Iuga Marian Silviu]

The free game distributed as .tar.gz source is not
present in any of the repositories stated in synaptic:

http://bjs.sourceforge.net/

I think these game deserves to be in your universe repository.
I've made a group of fans of this game in my entourage and
we all want to skip having to compile this game with each
ubuntu install, witch takes some time... losing points along the way.
If I am not correct, you know what to do.

Thank you.

P.S.

I can't be a maintainer because I never manage to make a flawless .deb
from a .tar.gz (don't know how to apply changes to the original source).

The author should use automake/autoconf which would help a lot for packaging it. Right now the .tar.gz are hardly usable (without a lot of modifications) to make a working deb file.

[Iuga Marian Silviu (iugamarian)]

Anyway, running ./configure make sudo make install works like a charm.
Besides, Debian has it on its distribution DVD's as deb (if I remember correctly).
