Re: [Trisquel-users] How can we find the reason for blocking Ubuntu packages?

There are certain packages related to "cataclysm" (or more precisely,  
"cataclysm-dda") in Debian's and Ubuntu's free/libre repositories (namely,  
main and universe) respectively.


But the game only appears in Debian 10 or newer, or in Ubuntu 19.04 or newer.  
Therefore, it is too new even for incoming Trisquel 9. If there is no freedom  
issue, it will be available in Trisquel 10. Just keep waiting...

I'm sorry I don't know precisely Trisquel development, but you can
refer to Parabola Blacklist
https://git.parabola.nu/blacklist.git/tree/blacklist.txt if you want
to know the freedom-related reason a package being blacklisted.
Because Trisquel and Parabola share the same ethical guidelines (GNU
FSDG), the blacklist should be identical too.

I don't see an Ubuntu package called that.[1]

Here[2] is the list of purged Ubuntu packages.  Specific reasons for each  
package are not given, but they are grouped into "non-free packages", and  
"free software packages or metapackages only relevant to branding Ubuntu".  I  
don't see cataclysm in there though.

I'm wondering the cause for blocking Cataclysm. How do I find out the reason  
for blocking Ubuntu packages?
