Bug#168589: ITP: xfuse - a ZX Spectrum and TC2048 emulator
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Package name: xfuse Version : 0.5.0 Upstream Author : Philip Kendall URL : http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pak21/spectrum/fuse.html Licence : GPL v2 Description : ZX Spectrum and TC2048 emulator Fuse is a ZX Spectrum emulator. It currently emulates the 48K, 128K, +2, +2A and +3 models, and the TC2048. This source package produces several binary packages: xfuse-common Files common to all variants of FUSE; arch=all xfuse-x11, xfuse-gtk, xfuse-svga, xfuse-fb Builds of FUSE for various UIs xfuse-utils Utilities for handling some emulator-related file formats xfuse-core Core binaries. This package exists in my private builds, but I'm considering dropping it. It depends on spectrum-roms and must therefore go in contrib. (Since I am currently applying to become a DD, a sponsor is required.) -- | Darren Salt | nr.

If amstrad allows them to be freely used, (only) then they are non-free. If Amstrad includes source code, and allows modification and redistribution etc, and all the other things we ask for in the DFSG, only then are they free. If they are non-free, then xfuse must be contrib.. Jules

We had a discussion abour ZX ROMS some time ago. Amstrad allows the ROMs i(at least the Spectrum ones) to be freely used in emulators, therefore there is no need for this to go to contrib. -- --- | Radovan Garabík http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/ | | __..--^^^--..__garabik @ melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk | --- Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.

Amstrad allows modification and redistribution. There is no source code, of course (there probably never was one) > > If they are non-free, then xfuse must be contrib.. There are also replacement ROMs available, some of them may be free (I have no further knowledge about them, though) -- --- | Radovan Garabík http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/ | | __..--^^^--..__garabik @ melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk | --- Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.

FUSE 0.5.1 was released today. The utilities and library have been split out, so xfuse-utils and libspectrum have separate upstream sources and separate ITPs; see bugs 172411 and 172412. -- | Darren Salt | nr.
