You are right its purebasic. Which means only the source is free, the compiler is not.
And that means it has to move to contrib, no? What do I have to do then? I think for most players its enough to get a working binary. The installation should be easy. Means f.e. that the right have to be set. (I got a highscores.dat which has to be writeable for the user) And that the program finds its files we have to change in its directory. For which in my rpm I create a wrapper file. And place this in /usr/games that the user can simply type "laby" everywhere. And finally I create an Icon on the desktop. If its helping I can provide the spec for my rpm. Should I still place an email there? or is this only working for Debian main? Am Freitag, 26.
