Re: [Super-tux-devel] We need binaries!

[Ricardo C. <ri...@ae...>]

Hey Marek,

 Yeah, binary packages would be nice to provide, since not every distro uses a 
repository system.

 Someone contributed a Suse package some time ago, I guess it just got lost. 
Tobias doesn't have time to keep an eye in SuperTux development, so it might 
be a good idea to nominate (a) maintainer(s).

 Loki Installer shouldn't be that hard to be made, just edit a text file. I 
could do it, if someone provides me a static compiled binary.

Cheers,
 Ricardo
