Interest in java-package-like contrib packages for proprietary games?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Are people in pkg-games interested in having contrib packages rather like java-package (that produce non-distributable binary .debs for proprietary games) in the archive/under team maintenance, and would some DD be willing to sponsor such packages? Over Christmas I did some work on FHS-compatible packaging for Epic's Unreal Tourmament (the original 1999 one); I now have a contrib package called unrealtournament-assistant (inspired by module-assistant) containing source tarballs for non-distributable .debs, which can be built using the Loki Games v436 installer, the UTPG (community-maintained) v451 semi-official patch, and various freely downloadable mods, plus an Unreal Tournament CD. The idea is that I'll write a script called unrealtournament-assistant which will automate the process of producing these .debs (in the same sort of way as module-assistant). I thought I'd get an idea of how much interest pkg-games has in this before I filed an ITP, though. The unrealtournament-assistant source package also produces a contrib package called unrealtournament, which depends on unrealtournament-bin and unrealtournament-data (the main non-distributable .debs), and contains launcher scripts and man pages (written by me rather than by Loki Games, so, distributable). Other games that could reasonably get the same treatment include Unreal Tournament 2003/2004 and Quake 3 (using the ioquake3 engine, which I notice pkg-games has packages for that aren't in the archive).

It sounds interesting, I'm certainly happy to sponsor if the consensus on here is that we want such things.

I don't plan on personally work in those packages, but I guess that Debaian and the Games Team will be interested in that. There's some demand for those kind of developments from the users, I've been contacted some times about that, so I fully support it. I'm adding the main development list for the Games Team to the recipients list ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Greetings, Miry __ Web Revelación Yahoo! 2007: Premio Favorita del Público. http://es.promotions.yahoo.com/revelacion2007/favoritos/ ___ Pkg-games-devel mailing list Pkg-games-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-devel

Let's use debian-devel-games for any further discussion, then - I've bounced my original mail there. It appears that what I'm doing is very similar to Jon Dowland's game-package - I'd be happy to merge the UT bits into game-package if that's desired. However, my code does have the difference that many .debs end up being compiled from more than one file (the most significant case being the many files extracted from the Unreal Tournament CD!)
