    Hi,

    first of all thanks for the awesome new release! I intend to replace the current version of ETR in Debian with 0.7.0 in the near future since it includes the tuxracer-extras courses now.

    However I get this error message when I quit the game. It seems a few preview.png files are missing.

    Failed to load image "/usr/share/games/etr/courses/extras/follow_white_rabbit/preview.png". Reason: Unable to open file
    couldn't load previewfile
    Failed to load image "/usr/share/games/etr/courses/extras/inception/preview.png". Reason: Unable to open file

    I have also found a typo in configure.ac that prevents the build system from adding CPPFLAGS. You can find the patch here:

    https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/extremetuxracer.git/tree/debian/patches/CPPFLAGS.patch?h=experimental

    Please also consider to add keywords to the desktop file. It makes it easier on modern desktop systems to find the game. Update the list of keywords as you see fit.

    That would be great!

    Yes, we know that. Is this a blocker for Debian?

    It would be nice if we could resolve this issue before uploading 0.7.0 to unstable. Is there more work involved than just making screenshots of the few courses and save them as preview.png?

    No, that should fix it.

    If you make a new release before the 18th of February with the missing preview images and the patches included, I will upload ETR to unstable and then it will also be part of Ubuntu 16.04

    I hope to make etr-0.7.1 release tarballs soon after midnight (EET) tonight.
