Description Andrew Ter-Grigoryan 2011-06-16 16:40:48 UTC 
When Ryzom was re-released about a year ago as free software (and made a native GNU/Linux game shortly after), it was probably the single biggest contribution of all time to free software gaming.

It would be nice if the Fedora maintainers repackaged Ryzom as an .rpm and added it to the default repository.
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2011-06-16 18:48:53 UTC 
While we appreciate the RFE, we don't package new software without a willing maintainer, and no one has stepped up to maintain this yet.

If you're interested in getting involved in maintaining packages in Fedora, please see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join#OS_Developer.

Note that this game is on the game SIG wish list (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games/WishList), so they are aware of it.

Closing as DEFERRED until a maintainer steps up.

Well, I have no experience maintaining packages, but maybe I could try getting my hands dirty. Or, I can put up a request on the forums and find someone with the proper know-how.
