Hi! I’m walking with you by your start point. i’m ask you for porting some app I have to compile from scratch or install from external sourc. They are: – Dbgl (front end for DosBox) – Inform 7 (well, no explanation for this, I think) Could you think about their inclusion in the official repository?

Thank you for your interest. A few points:
* You are asking for two different packages; one per bug, please. Leave this bug for one, raise a new one for the other.
* Please say something about the package you are asking for - what it does.
* Please give a project, or upstream, URL in the 'URL' field above.
OK, we could research this information; but we are busy enough...

As for "Dbgl (front end for DosBox)", this intrigues me because I use DosBox.

Sorry, it's my first post , please understand my lacking.
DBGL
On my humble opinion the best front end for DosBox.
"DBGL serves as a frontend / Graphical User Interface to DOSBox. It tries to make creating DOSBox configuration files a little easier by offering a relatively simple interface, some shortcuts and a little bit of intelligence. Once your DOS games are configured in DBGL, its very easy to setup or start them, or alter their configuration or associated DOSBox version".
There is the .deb package, not an .rpm one

INFORM 7
Inform is a free app for creating works of interactive fiction, available for MacOS, Windows, Linux and Android. Inside it is a powerful programming language based on English language text.

Thank you for this information.
We still need one bug per package. Leave this bug for DBGL; please create another bug for Inform 7 (to which you can copy your paragraph above).

Re DBGL
The latest version is v0.92, using Java version 8 and up, 64-bit only (note that). The Linux download:

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might, if there are no license or other legal issues, want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.
