keenerd: There is an updated version at https://gitlab.com/meritous/meritous

It's used by debian.

if you add sed -i 's/printf(s)/printf("%c",s)/g' src/demon.c to the PKGBUILD it works again

Why was this flagged out of date? There was no new version.

This has a segfault when drawing the first boss. Also, the dialogs of the bosses don't show up until the end of the game. Those two issues could be solved with this patch: http://pastebin.kde.org/pwjmputgv/echos9/raw That was taken from the Debian package. There is also the issue with the helpfile that can't be read from in-game, because of different end lines. I solved it running dos2unix on dat/d/helpfile.txt although help.c could be patched for this (that's what Debian did). Also, the game generates a SaveFile.sav on pwd, which is not elegant at all. Debian patched this. I tried to apply the patch, but it didn't work for me for some reason. Additionally, the music of this game seems to be nonfree / nondistributable, which could be an issue (and, at the very least, makes the "GPL3" license not entirely true).
