Hi all! I am trying to dive head first into the world of Debian development. As such, this is my first post to any developer-related mailing list. I thought the mentor list would be appropriate, as I probably need a little more hand-holding than the normal development lists are meant to provide. I already have my key signed by an existing Debian developer.
How are you? Unless I am mistaken, it seems that the Debian distribution
contains very few packages for MUD servers (lambdamoo is a notable
exception). This is understandable, since most MUD servers are not GPL
or do not have a 'free' license. However, I was somewhat surprised to
find that, PennMUSH, available at:
http://www.pennmush.org
is not available for the Debian distribution.
The license (Artistic License) for the MUSH is here:
http://ftp.pennmush.org/Source/COPYRITE
It seems like it is okay, in that I cannot immediately find anything
that would prevent it from being packaged. But could someone check over
this anyway?
If the licensing issues are all okay, I would like to package this
software. It certainly is not the simplest of packages, but I think it's
important to work with tasks that you find important, not those that are
easy (necessity is the mother of invention, after all).
Since I know people are busy, I'm basically asking:
1. Is the license for PennMUSH okay?
2. Is there any interest for such a package?
3. Should I (may I) package it?
Regards,
