Hi, all. In the previous stable Debian there had been rocks-n-diamonds package. Later it was excluded from Debian as not corresponding to Debian policy with the following formulation:
=cut Rocks-N-Diamonds contains sound, graphics and level data which violate section 2.3 of the Debian policy manual. Some of the game content originates with commercial sources that have not provided explicit permission for their reuse. =cut http://people.debian.org/~joey/3.0r2/ I would like to return the game into Debian. That's why I've separated those parts with questionable licensing (or without licensing at all) from the rest and assembled into the separate package only the game that was licensed by GPLv2. So the distribution of the game itself will not contradict to the Debian policy, and users will be able to download the game resources independently. For downloading of these resources I've written the script for debconf system. A man who will probably sponsor the inclusion of this package into Debian offered me firstly to discuss the situation in this mail list. Are there any contradictory evidences for including this package into Debian in the way offered by me? _preliminary_ package version may be downloaded from: deb http://uvw.ru/debian/ ./ deb-src http://uvw.ru/debian/ ./ Now I discuss the imperfections of realization of the package itself with the future sponsor. In the near future I'll modify the package according to his recommendations, so please don't pay attention to the possible imperfections and the way of script working. It may be modified after the solving of the principal problem: is it possible to include the package into Debian? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
