Hello DGT-folks and Mentors,
This is a request for review of my current packaging of the
soon-to-be-released game Red Eclipse[0] ("RE").The preliminary packaging is available at debexpo/mentors: http://mentors.debian.net/package/cube2font http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cube2font/cube2font_1.2~review-1.dsc http://mentors.debian.net/package/redeclipse http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/redeclipse/redeclipse_1.2~review-1.dsc http://mentors.debian.net/package/redeclipse-data http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/r/redeclipse-data/redeclipse-data_1.2~review-1.dsc The orig tarballs have been generated from upstream SVN and should very closely resemble that which will end up being the final tarballs (src/site might be deleted, likely nothing else). I have Currently split the source up into 4 parts: 1. fonts-play: Removed from RE and packaged from googlefontdirectory[1] this is already complete and relased to unstable[2]. 2. cube2font: Tool for pre-generating font "texes"/images sheets for use in the game (direct ttf rendering is unlikely to happen upstream). 3. redeclipse-data: Artwork, maps, audio, fonts, etc. fonts are built from source via fonts-play and cube2font above. redeclipse-data is placed in non-free due to music, images and blender models not having their "source" generally available, in many cases they are discarded or lost, in other cases one would need to ask a particular upstream developer for sources, etc. 4. redeclipse: Client and Server Binaries, client depends on re-data, server is independent, placed in contrib. Some notes regarding non-standard packaging: Lintian: P: {all} unversioned-copyright-format-uri http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ This is something I intentionally use until the final URI is set because I don't like using http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=dbnpolicy/policy.git;a=blob;f=copyright-format/copyright-format.xml;h=e854c2a1464c842bcbb3262847607b5697d02503;hb=HEAD I: {server, data, dbg}: extended-description-is-probably-too-short I consider these to contain all relevant information, without duplicating the client description. Suggestions welcome though. P: {cube2font}: no-upstream-changelog Since the only relevant info is "new font tool, with documentation" I'm skipping including the RE changelog.txt in these packages. Embedded version of Enet: The developer of Enet and co-developer of Red Eclipse, Lee "eihrul" Salzman, has strongly stated that Red Eclipse should NOT use a stand-alone Enet since it is an integral part of the game's engine. Afaik it works fine to build with the enet in Debian (Just missing a few bugfixes), however I'm currently not doing so based on the above information. Does Debian best-practise weight in heavier in this case or not? Current git repositories[3]: I'm currently only keeping debian/ in the VCSes for the sources, but plan on importing the release tarballs to setup a standard git-buildpackage setup (master, upstream, pristine-tar) once the final release happens.
