Bug#775445: License updates, music included, ready for review (I hope)

2015-02-10 Thread D B

Hi,

After speaking with the author of the menu music, he has licensed it under
CC-BY-3.0.  The latest package reflects this:

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/bitfighter/bitfighter_019d+dfsg-14.dsc

I also replaced the 'Play' font usage with 'LiberationSans' so it isn't so
ugly (because of bug #776273)

I believe I am read for review again.

Thank you!,
David

  Hi Luca,

 Final question, the changelog lists the package as UNRELEASED, I
 think it's right since it's never been in any Debian distro, but on
 mentors it's raised as a red flag, any idea if I should change it?

 This field describes which distribution the uploaded package goes to and
 it is not fiddled with automatically e.g after an upload. Check out
 Policy §4.4.  Summary: Write unstable here.

Hello Tobias,

Done, upload on mentors now lists unstable as a distribution in the
changelog. Thank you very much! :-)

Is #694703 RFP: unvanquished unsful?

2015-02-10 Thread Sébastien Bertrand
Dear mentors,

I'm looking for a package that need help.

I found unvanquished, which in my opinion is a good game:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=694703

But there is already a debian package, which is not part of debian repository:
http://debs.unvanquished.net/unstable/

Is it useful to repackage it from sources?
Otherwise what should be done?

Thank in advance for any help,

Regards,
Sébastien Bertrand.

If you want the package to be in main, it has to be compilable from
source. However, you may be able to use their package as a starting point.

Sure, you can use the package from upstream as a starting point. But
expect that you need to check and re-ask everything, as this package is
not perfect. (I only made a spot-check and not everything I was was
perfect; however this was only a very short spot check.) 

From my experience it is often better to start from scratch. Of course,
the upstream packaging can give some inspiration how upstream thinks it
should be organized by distributions.

If you are interested in packaging the game for Debian, please consider
to join the Debian Games Team [1] and team-maintain the package.

 If you want the package to be in main, it has to be compilable from
 source. However, you may be able to use their package as a starting point.

For main you actually have another requirement [2] : Free data. 
Unfortunatly upstream allows also non-free  licenses [3], so this is a
strong indication that at least some of their assets are non-free.   
(randomly taking a look at the map forlon shows this one is on a
CC-BY-ND-NC license, checking another one there is no info at all
So there will be some work to get license straightened with uptream and
to find out if there is free content for the game. 

I hope I did not scare you off, but packaging is something that does not
have instant results :) It would be definitly a nice game to be packaged
-- even only in contrib. 

I could be persuaded to sponsor this, afterall.
