--- Begin Message ---Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Package name: inform6 Version: 6.33 Upstream developer: Inform project URL: http://inform7.com/sources/i6n/ License: Artistic License 2.0 Programming language: C Description: Inform 6 interactive fiction language Inform 6 is an object-oriented language for writing interactive fiction, also known as “text adventures” or “adventure games”. . As a story developer, you create Inform 6 source code describing the story. Then compile from source code to “Z-code”, the bytecode for a virtual machine (a “Z-machine”). The resulting story files are highly portable, with Z-code interpreters available for many different platforms. After many years of non-free development, Inform 6 is free software! The previous upstream maintainers have granted license to the code base under the conditions of the Artistic License 2.0, which makes the work conform to the Debian Free Software Guidelines. Many contributed extensions are also now licensed under free software conditions. Thanks to David Griffith and others for continuing the work of expanding the freedom of the Inform 6 code base by pursuing explicit written grants of free-software license conditions. About the name “Inform 6” and the earlier ‘inform’ package: In the intervening years since Inform 6 was last released upstream, the Inform community has also embarked on a more ambitious language called Inform 7. Inform 7 and Inform 6 are not versions of the same language. They are fundamentally incompatible, maintained as distinct languages and code bases. Yet Inform 6 remains part of the same project; see the Inform project's explanation at <URL:http://inform7.com/sources/i6n/>. So these free-software Debian packages have names and descriptions that make clear they install the stand-alone Inform 6 language. The ‘inform’ package, representing an earlier version of the same Inform 6 code base, becomes a transitional package to ‘inform6’. -- \ “I bought some batteries, but they weren't included; so I had | `\ to buy them again.” —Steven Wright | _o__) | Ben Finney <b...@benfinney.id.au>
