Re: [Slackbuilds-users] SlackBuilds for Humble Bundle games
I don't see it as a show stopper that the admins can't test the slackbuilds for commercial/proprietary software. In this case, the Humble Bundles are DRM and some of the purchase price goes to EFF, for example. As long as the maintainer stands by his work... BTW, I was the one who. brought this up on LQ, just thought is was worthy of a discussion. I'd like SBo to be a centralized repository for all 3rd party stuff, not just F/OSS or free-to-use software.

[Slackbuilds-users] SlackBuilds for Humble Bundle games
Hi there, I currently maintain SlackBuilds for games from the Humble Bundle series. I mainly do this for myself, but I also have them available for other users via my blog. I recently got asked from an LQ user if I ever considered submitting these scripts to SBo. So, I wanted to ask: a) Given the fact that these scripts rely on commercial and (usually) proprietary software and would appeal only to Humble Bundle customers, would these scripts be welcome by SBo? b) If yes, do you think it would actually be a worthy addition to the database? Because, currently, there are scripts for 43 games and I suspect I'll have to modify them to be as consistent as possible with SBo's templates. Regards, Dimitris PS.
