This could be easily solved by merging xbill with xlennart to xperson

It's an ITP, so it goes to debian-devel by default to discuss amongst

it's a necessary part of the process.

We'll have to agree to disagree here. I still see lots of systemd hate

Once it's history and not present, sure. And by stop I don't mean

 How does XBill make Debian better?

The question is rather what are the improvements and features of
xlennart that would justify the inclusion of another almost identical
package? XBill has been included in Debian since 1996 (the game itself
is even older and was created in 1994) and it is one of the oldest games
that are still maintained by the Debian Games team. I guess we still do
that because of historical reasons and more importantly because the
package does not require much maintenance.

Back in 1996 there were only a few free software games, so naturally
people packaged everything they could get hold of. Nowadays everything
has fundamentally changed. Now there are a lot of excellent and complex
free software games and nobody talks about the competition between
Windows and Linux anymore. It's a relict of the past, just as the
systemd debate will be a relict of the past in 20 years. If you are
generally interested in packaging or maintaining existing games, please
check out

https://wiki.debian.org/Games/Development#Get_Involved

My personal opinion is that both XBill and xlennart are mildly
entertaining and it is rather immature to depict living people as a
virus. The message is either silly or offensive.

I absolutely agree with Ben here. I don't see anything special that

upstream author of XBill to incorporate your changes and thus create a
more customizable game. xbill.org is still online.

While we're talking about personal opinions, and clarifying for Dmitry,
whom I never answered on the question of what good is xbill to debian?
it's not entirely beneath me to chuckle at public figures at their
expense. (What listener of CBC radio hasn't chuckled at the Canadian Air
Farce poking fun at public Canadian figures, for instance? Or if that's
not your nationality ... pick your favourite example of the same genre.)
Yes, xbill is funny (to me) and I think enjoying a bit of silliness like
this can enrich our lives. So my own feelings regarding lampooning
Lennart in a game are, as I said, just my personal distaste for it. I
find it too soon and unfunny, given what the Debian project has just
been through over systemd. I'm not saying satire has no value for
Debian, categorically.

As for the rest of what you wrote, I can only agree.

Cheers,
Ben

Maybe it doesn't.

I played it a few times in the 90s when Windows seemed like more of a
threat and I had my own juvenile anti-Microsoft web pages.

Perhaps it serves as a reminder of the old Unix workstations of the 90s
and the infatuation of the some of the workstation vendors with Windows
NT.  (Now we know that making Windows portable doesn't mean applications
get ported, and the workstations largely got replaced by PCs rather than
just changing OS.  But then some of those PCs ended up running Linux...)

Hi,

Ben Hutchings b...@decadent.org.uk writes:

 Poettering than with Bill Gates.

fwiw I don't think Lennart Poettering personally would care very
much. He has a thick skin and has more than once poked fun at people for
poking fun at him.

I agree with other people in this thread that there really is no ethical
(or technical) difference between xbill and xlennart. Which is why I was
mildly shocked to learn that debain has xbill in it's archives. I never
seen it before to today, but I find it wildly inappropriate to attack
persons in that manner. The fact that Lennart has publicly criticized
the open source community for such ad hominem attacks [1] only
exacerbates things -- one would *think* that the open source community
take this post as an opportunity to prove him wrong.

I know that CoC-incantations are frowned upon, but I hope that this
goes at least against the spirit of having a CoC (even if maybe -- haven't
checked in detail -- not the wording). Which should be to treat people
openly and with respect.

I don't think Lennart personally would care, no, but I think *we* should
care to paint the Opensource community as better than this. From that
point of view, if there was a vote and I'd get a vote I would also vote
against having xbill in the archive as being a poor taste ad-hominem
attack (I mean, for crying out loud, there is an actualy blood-spatter
squashing animation in the game, even if it is a poor one). In my
opinion it is certainly not an argument to also let xlennart in.

As a member of the said community, I think that, however the
presence of either of the packages in Debian paints it, –
I could live with that.

Regarding the possible enhancement of XBill to allow for using a
user-specified set of sprites (whether packaged or not), –
it certainly feels like a proper solution to me.  I guess the
package could then be enhanced to include several such “themes,”
including the “classic” one, the newly proposed one, and perhaps
a few more, depending on the availability and relevance.

  From that point of view, if there was a vote and I'd get a vote I

While not a full-scale ad-hominem attack, I’d say that the two
differences I know of between the vrms operation and the
official FSF position amount to a misrepresentation at best.

If you apt-cache show vrms, you will see the notice explaining that RMS
does not actually hold the same views on freedom as Debian, and that the
software defaults to the DFSG in cases of difference of opinion.
Similarly for the man page of vrms.

In any case, it seems that Dmitry has now decided not to package the
xlennart. If nobody else is willing to package it, I would recommend
that this bug be closed. If someone else is willing to package it, then
the bug ownership should be changed to reflect this.

I don't particularly care enough to argue for dropping it, but I always
have kind of wished that the author would rename it.

Personally, I just don't name software after people who aren't the author
of the software.  It feels like unnecessary drama to me, or at least risks
it.  That goes double for representations of other people in software that
they didn't write and didn't choose.

It's funny for a bit (I played xbill for about 30 minutes back in the
1990s when it first showed up and laughed at the time), and then it stops
being funny.  It's not that Bill Gates would ever notice; it's that it's
one of those things that makes me feel like a slightly worse person than I
was before I did it.  I already find it too easy to reduce people to
caricatures; intentionally practicing doing so doesn't feel like it leads
to any place good for how I think about the world.  There are lots of
funny things in the world that don't subtlely undermine my ability to see
nuance and that don't feel like adding unnecessary drama to my life.

To be clear, that's strictly a personal opinion about why I choose not to
participate.  I don't really care to argue about whether Debian should
include the package.

  Description : An XBill fork but with Lennart and SystenD instead of Bill

Ever get the feeling that nothing is going right? You're a sysadmin, and
someone's trying to destroy your computers. The little people running around
the screen are trying to infect your computers with SystenD [TM], a virus
cleverly designed to resemble a popular init system. Your objective is to
click the mouse on them, ending the potential threat. If one of the people
reaches a computer, it will attempt to replace your operating system with the
virus it carries. It will then attempt to run off the screen with your vital
software. The game ends when only 1 (or 0) of your computers are being
productive. Additionally, some computers are connected with network cables.
When one computer on a network becomes infected, a spark will be sent down
the cable, and will infect the computer on the other end when it reaches
there.

__

 why is this package useful/relevant?

https://github.com/Xylemon/xlennart already has 43 stars (since November of
2014). People like this game.

 is it a dependency for another package?

No.

 do you use it?

No.

 if there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does it
 compare?

This's a fork of XBill. Everything the same, just with Lennart and SystenD
instead of Bill and Wingdows.

 how do you plan to maintain it?

Just maintain it without any team.

Re: Bug#775436: ITP: xlennart -- An XBill fork but with Lennart and SystenD instead of Bill and Wingdows

2015-01-15 Thread Riley Baird
 * URL : https://github.com/xaionaro/xlennart

The URL should be the main branch of xlennart; that is
https://github.com/Xylemon/xlennart

 if there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does it
 compare?
 
 This's a fork of XBill. Everything the same, just with Lennart and SystenD
 instead of Bill and Wingdows.

That sounds like a lot of code duplication. Is it possible to have a
common library between XBill and XLennart?

(Also, in any case, don't you think that this game is going a little too
far? It's fine to be opposed to systemd, but don't do to Lennart
Poettering what the gamergate people did to Anita Sarkeesian.)

Sorry, will do. I just hit the Reply List button in Thunderbird
without checking the addresses.
