Bug#1029469: RFP: anarch -- oldschool first-person-shooter game

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* package name: anarch

* description: oldschool first-person-shooter game

Anarch is an oldschool first-person-shooter game mildly
inspired by the game Doom. It is completely public
domain, made to be as free as possible. It is also unique
in being very small, efficient, portable, dependency-free
and hackable.

This is my own software and I would be glad if someone
could package it for me as I have absolutely no experience
with packaging or maintaining packages. It gained some
attention and I got a lot of feedback from people that
told me they liked it, so I think it would be helpful to
include the game in Debian so that more people can find it
and play it.

Building is very easy, without requirement for any build
system (there is a shell script in the repository that
helps to compile the game with correct flags etc.). The only
modification that will probably need to be made is changing
the path to save file to some absolutely located file (e.g.
~/.anarch/anarch.sav) in settings.h before compiling
(currently the game saves its progress in the directory it
is run from). The only dependency is SDL2-dev (alternatively
csfml can also be used).



Bug#990368: Supertuxkart has proprietary data

2021-06-27 Thread Miloslav Ciz
Package: supertuxkart-data
Version: 0.9.3-2

The game Supertuxkart does not meet the criteria for inclusion
in the free software Debian repositories, specifically by containing
proprietary data (violating
https://people.debian.org/~bap/dfsg-faq.html#not_just_code).

These include the game characters Beastie and Hexley (mascots of
BSD and Darwin OS), distributed under non-free terms (
http://www.mckusick.com/copyright.html,
https://github.com/PureDarwin/Hexley/blob/master/LICENSE.md) which
allow use only to individuals (not groups) and withing the limits
of "good taste". Furthermore many game assets are used under unknown
terms (search the Debian copyright file for "license: ???").

I think due to these violations of Debian standards the package should
either be removed until the issues are resolved by the developers, or
it should be moved to non-free package repositories.
