If this is true, it cannot be included in Debian main or contrib, and possibly not even in non-free. Thank you for pointing that out, I had not considered that the source itself might not be distributable. I shall look into this.

If this is true, it cannot be included in Debian main or contrib, and possibly not even in non-free. -- Cheers, Andrej

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Lucy M X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, lucylikesyourf...@gmail.com * Package name: spacecadetpinball Version : 2.0 Upstream Author : Andrey Muzychenko * URL : https://github.com/k4zmu2a/SpaceCadetPinball * License : MIT Programming Lang: C++ Description : Decompilation and port of "3D Pinball for Windows - Space Cadet" Reverse Engineered Decompilation of "3D Pinball for Windows - Space Cadet", Ported to be cross-platform. Doesn't contain the original (proprietary) data files, but requires them to run. These are to be sourced seperatly. and placed in a relevent dir. Free assets do not exist yet, but may be possible in future (upstream issue #96) This game is fun and nostalgic for many who played it when it was included with Windows. I believe at least a handful of people will find it useful to install this without having to manually build it, as I would have. User packages of this already exist for some (non-debian) distros (eg AUR) I am new to packaging and have produced a package for this using debhelper. I am unsure of its quality at the moment but im interested in getting it up to standard and getting it out there, especially as upstream does not provide prebuilt linux binaries. If my understanding is correct, I need a sponsor & possibly a mentor to provide guidance and get any packaging approved? Please forgive me if I am wrong about this whole process. Below is what I have so far, if that helps. https://github.com/LucyLikesYourFace/SpaceCadetPinball
