Description Orcan Ogetbil 2008-11-23 10:32:07 UTC

Description:
pyglet provides an object-oriented programming interface for developing
games and other visually-rich applications for Windows, Mac OS X and
Linux. Some of the features of pyglet are:

* No external dependencies or installation requirements. For most
application and game requirements, pyglet needs nothing else besides
Python, simplifying distribution and installation.
* Take advantage of multiple windows and multi-monitor desktops. pyglet
allows you to use as many windows as you need, and is fully aware of
multi-monitor setups for use with fullscreen games.
* Load images, sound, music and video in almost any format. pyglet can
optionally use AVbin to play back audio formats such as MP3,
OGG/Vorbis and WMA, and video formats such as DivX, MPEG-2, H.264,
WMV and Xvid.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The package have a few issues:

* It depends softly on avbin. Softly means, it uses it if it is present, otherwise it won't produce errors. avbin is a wrapper around ffmpeg, so it can't be packaged for Fedora. I am packaging avbin for rpmfusion. pyglet can do many other things hence I thought I should package it for Fedora.

The question is: Should I remove the last paragraph from the description?

* The source tarball has an examples directory, with bunch of code examples. I am packaging all these examples in a -examples subpackage. Among them is a game called astraea. Astraea contains a ttf font file. The Readme file says it is a free font by I don't think we can include it in Fedora. It is actually this font:

http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/larabie/saved-by-zero/

Right now, I picked a font that is available in Fedora and made the -examples subpackage require that font package. Is this a good solution? What is the best procedure in such cases?

Please share your opinions.

Comment 1 Orcan Ogetbil 2008-11-23 18:40:48 UTC

I found out that the font (saved-by-zero) is not free, hence it cannot be packaged in Fedora:

%changelog
- Removed the extra font dependency (reverting to the default system font).
- Added Requires.


I thought the dependency on a totally irrelevant fonts package is not that necessary, so I made the script fall back to the default system font.

Comment 4 Orcan Ogetbil 2008-12-01 04:08:02 UTC

As is explained on the link of the previous comment, pyglet depends heavily on a patent encumbered algorithm and hence cannot be included in Fedora.
Submitting to rpmfusion.
Closed.
