Bug#714746: 0ad: consider adding newer versions in wheezy-backports

[Vincent Cheng]

Control: tag -1 wontfix

Hi,

FYI, issues/requests related to backports should be sent to the
debian-backports mailing list (or directly to the maintainer/team in
charge of the package), not to the BTS [1]. I personally don't mind
either way, but you may find that some maintainers are not so
receptive to bugs reported to the BTS against versions not officially
in Debian (be it backports, or derivatives like Ubuntu, etc.).

I've already had another Debian user request an 0ad backport (see
[2]), and my response is still the same. The fact that 0ad is still in
early development is also partly why I do not wish to backport it
right now. However, if 0ad's "1.0" release ever gets released in
wheezy's lifetime, then I will definitely consider backporting 0ad to
wheezy-backports.

As mentioned in #689926, if you're willing to do the work yourself and
maintain a 0ad backport in wheezy, that's fine by me. :)

Regards,
Vincent
