Description

This game is not in KDE 4, so this means this will have to be reassigned to kdegames3 when KDE 4 gets imported. Other games in kdegames3 which could possibly use similar treatment: KSokoban, KSmiletris (as Gnometris was found to be a problem because of the "tris"), KAsteroids (pretty generic in principle, but still the original was named "Asteroids" so it may be a problem). I wonder if the trademark issues are part of the reason nobody volunteered to maintain these upstream. The patch shouldn't be hard to do thanks to KFileReplace, but the real question is what to rename them to. Here's my ideas: * KAsteroids -> ? I thought of KPlanetoids, but there's already a freeware game called Planetoids which isn't an Asteroids game at all [1]. * KSmiletris -> KSmiles or KFallingSmiles * KSokoban -> KBoxPush * KTron -> KSnakeDuel [1] http://linux.softpedia.com/get/GAMES-ENTERTAINMENT/Arcade/Planetoids-9571.shtml Created attachment 160701 [details] Patch to remove Tron and Sokoban trademarks The attached patch removes the Tron and Sokoban trademarks from kdegames 3. KTron is renamed to KSnakeDuel, KSokoban to KBoxPush. I also tracked down the original author of the levels which are currently shipped with KSokoban, checked that the licensing is acceptable for Fedora content (it's "Distributable, no modification allowed") and fixed AUTHORS to credit the levels properly: The included level sets (Sasquatch, Mas Sasquatch, Sasquatch III, Sasquatch IV and Microban) are the work of: David W. Skinner <sasquatch> http://users.bentonrea.com/~sasquatch/sokoban/ From the web page: > These sets may be freely distributed provided they remain unchanged > and credited with my name and email address. I ran the KFileReplace script I'm going to attach, then hand-edited AUTHORS as above. I also hand-edited ksokoban/index.docbook with 2 minor edits so the introductory paragraph about the original game makes sense. With this change, this bug should be resolved and it should no longer be necessary to delete KSokoban for RHEL either. Created attachment 160702 [details]

Patch to remove Tron and Sokoban trademarks (rev2)
This version of the patch has some additional user-visible instances of
"sokoban" and "tron" removed. There should be really no user-visible instances
left within kdegames now. I have applied the patch to my kdegames3 package,
verified that it still builds and that the games and menus don't show the
trademarks. So the patch is ready to go for F6/F7/devel updates.
I have some bad news however: there are translated versions of the manuals with
the offending trademarks in kde-i18n. Work never ends. :-(
Can we please get this patch applied? it's commited in fc6/f7/devel CVS. I will push new package with the fix for fc6/f7 this week. Thanks Kevin Kofler for great work. |
