Perhaps I am misreading something, but it looks like it's already there: http://packages.debian.org/source/jessie/mygui
Also apt pinning openmw in experimental to >500 allows it to auto update. Without pinning experimental packages need explicit apt-get install every release. It's a quirk of experemtal.
Interesting, I did not know that. I'll update the wiki to include it.

It's the wrong version, built against ogre 1.8. Ogre 1.9 needs gcc4.8 and that's why the mugui we want is stuck in unstable.

Ogre 1.9 needs gcc4.8
Huh? Not aware of that. And I've built it with 4.6 just fine.

On PowerPC and SPARC. I know, it's funny how we have to worry about that, but Debian strives to be universal
Brotherbrick and I are looking forward to someone playing morrowind on a raspberrypi or SGI system;)

Since PowerPC and SPARC are minor architectures for us I'll request they be removed until gcc4.8 is their default

Updated installation instructions since mygui 3.2.0-5 was migrated to testing.

Lgro: Can you (or someone) update the download page to reflect that Debian no longer uses the PPA but is now in Debian proper?

http://packages.debian.org/experimental/openmw

Thanks!
