(Removing NEEDSPONSOR, sponsored by me) Are you sure FreeSCI can be included in Fedora? Is there any free data for it? If the answer is no, it cannot be included. If the answer is yes, it can be included but a package for at least a free game must be submitted too. I didnt know that... There are demos and shareware versions but, no the games are not free (i dont think there is any free Sierra game). (In reply to comment #2) > Is there any free data for it? If the answer is no, it cannot be included. Why? (In reply to comment #4) > Why? Because this is the rule Games SIG has. Interpreters and games that don't follow this rule have been retired and often moved to other repositories. If you think this is not correct you are welcome to post a message in the Games SIG mailing list. More info on this SIG here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games If there's as much as a demo or some non-use-restricted content which can be downloaded from the 'net, then the package is fine. Witness xu4. For the counterpoint, see Exult, which itself is free but for which no free content. (I personally disagree with the exclusion of Exult, but that's neither here nor there.) Please read this thread about FreeSCI: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-games-list/2007-April/msg00008.html Yes, that thread is a reasonable reference, and doesn't contradict my comments above. Unfortunately this site is down: http://scicommunity.com/ I have found many game demos on this site: http://agisci.classicgaming.gamespy.com/sierradm.shtml ...but this site needs a fileplanet account. I have not found any other sources. That wont be sufficient, or? I close this review until we find a "free game" (downloadable!) for it... |
