OK. But are you going to submit DevilutionX as a Buildroot package? My
only concern is that just by itself, smpg is not very useful. So having
that in Buildroot without having any of the packages that use it and
that provide some "useful" functionality is not very interesting from a
Buildroot maintenance point of view.

No worries about the timing, we're not in a hurry. There might be other
aspects in your patches to review, but I'd like first to understand
whether we want these packages in Buildroot in the first place.

Best regards,
