Spec URL: i have no space (where can I request space?) SRPM URL: i have no space (where can I request space?) Description: First of all, this is a placeholder. I will add the spec and srpm after i find a space for it.
At least, you may place spec-file right here, as an attachment.
You are not a packager?! I didn't find you at FAS. Please create a fas account. added FE-Needsponsor before you add a spec or srpm, think about this: commanderstalin comes with boswar itself. so you have to patch this internal dependency out. I'm not a fan of the "remove flags in fedora packages" discussion, but I would make an exception to this package! It comes with nazi symbolicas. Please remove this.

I don't think that history-related game needs such 1984-like censorship. Nazi regime was a part of European history, so let's not forget it.
It would make me sad to see a game with nazi symbolicas in a family friendly distribution like fedora.

Haha, you are maintainer of gnaughty, which is definitely not family friendly because it can be used to bypass age verification. On the other hand: The swastica flag is forbidden in Germany. It's only allowed for education (which covers Peter's history argument) and arts, but not in computer games. See http://www.technolex-anwaelte.de/index.php?id=43&news_id=106 (German only)

Heh, nice catch! I always sure, that (almost) all aggressive moralists are hypocrites. On the other hand, what Fedora Policy states regarding nazi symbolics?
blocking FE-MORAL ?

I think, that's an ethical and legal thing here. In some countries (e.g. as in Germany) such symbolicas are even a legal problem. Maybe they can be slightly changed so that they're okay in all countries like commercial/proprietary games do for Germany as well? Time for a bit FE_LEGAL...
The fact that a package might be unacceptable in certain countries does not constitute a reason not to package it in Fedora. That's why packages and spins exist, so that we can substitute a package if we need to. If this package is not on the media we're distributing in events, then it shouldn't be a problem. If it is/will be, then we should do exactly what we are doing with OpenOffice in Brazil (which is trademarked): We have a different spin for it: "Fedora-11-i686-Live-BrOffice This spin is intended to be a Brazilian Portuguese localized spin that provides the legal brand for OpenOffice.org in Brazil." I'd encourage everyone to understand that Fedora is much, much bigger than what we think it is in our own realm. We ship our product in a bunch of countries, and the only real problem that we should be worrying about in this case should be: "does having such a package on our repos (and not on our media) break a law in USA which, through the trademark bridge, could hurt Fedora and Red Hat"? If the answer is no, then there should be a very serious reason to oppress the "Freedom" foundation of Fedora.
AFAIK spins that have the name "Fedora" in it are legally only allowed to ship whatever Fedora is shipping. And if there's something which violates the Fedora rules, it has to be called "remix" and never include the "Fedora" name IIRC. As far as I got Tom in his last talk I participated (FUDCon 2008), Fedora cares about legal issues in other countries as well and tries to solve them. And in this special case we don't talk about a trivial issue or about a law which is not enforced anyway, but about a real violation against the constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany which can bring imprisonment e.g. when distributing such symbolicas, which causes serious trouble to all German Fedora mirrors.
The simplest solution here would be to replace the controversial images with something that is not controversial. Jens, as the proposed maintainer, are you willing to do that?
no, because this will steal the athmospehere of the game. so i will close this.
