Uploading/fixing rott?

Hi Fabian,

I'm writing to you, as you are the sole one listed in Uploaders of rott.

There are currently two kind of grave bugs in rott, which I'd like to
see fixed:
#530570 (alias LP#305779): URL for 1rott13.zip changed
 This one is already fixed in pkg-games SVN and waiting for an upload.
LP#298992: rott freezes when timidity is not installed
 This one is a bit more tricky. When timidity/freepats are not
 installed, rott freezes (for me after when returning to the menu after
 played a game). Installing freepats or running rott with "nosound"
 fixes the issue. I wasn't able to debug this one further, not enough
 knowledge about SDL_mixer :(

IMHO an upload just to fix the first one would be nice, the second can
be workarounded by depending on timidity or by a wrapper, that looks
whether timidity is installed and if not, launches rott with nosound.
But if you have any better solution, I'd love so see it :)

So my question is: do you plan to fix the freeze issue in a sane way,
or should I upload the package in the current state (either with your
or my name in the changelog)?

Regards
Evgeni
