Fedora Games Spin at #1 in "5 Best Linux Distros for Gaming"
by Matthew Miller 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

https://www.mobileappdaily.com/2018/06/5/best-linux-distro-for-gaming The Fedora Project is a community of people working together to build a free and open source Linux software platform and to collaborate on and share user-focused solutions built on that platform. The Fedora Games spin offers a perfect showcase of the best Linux games available in Fedora. This distro includes several genres, from first-person shooters to real-time and turn-based strategy games to puzzles. Not all the games available in Fedora are included on this spin, but trying out this spin will give you a fair impression of distro’s ability to run great games. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Angband
by Dennis Payne 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

I was thinking of trying to package Angband. I grabbed the source and a spec file/patches used by Mageia. I got SDL working but X11 version doesn't run under wayland. Curses version complained about not finding a font. Obviously I can work through these but I have a question about licensing. Angband is GPL (or the angband license if you prefer). Some items in the angband tar.gz are not. It explains which ones aren't. Mageia's patch disables them so they are not installed (at least in theory I haven't actually confirmed it). Mageia uses a source package of %{name}-%{version}-libre.tar.xz. I'm guess they may have taken the angband tar.gz and removed items to create it. Would Fedora require the same? Can we ship a srpm with non-commercial content like the sounds in angband? -- Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com Roon's Raccoon Sprintladder: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/126010

Please make a repo at http://open-life.org/blog/games/181.html I would like to have it in the standard Fedore. And check and clean the "dead" url of the game list on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Games_Spin#Detailed_Description Oh?(to load packages and sites managed all the many 404 errors). Good day ! Good luck. domenix domenix2008(a)yandex.ru This would be better on the games list (games(a)lists.fedoraproject.org) It will be a while yet before I have a lot of time to work on Fedora again. Mostly I only get time to work on bugs that dsirectly affect me these days. Also you can get wiki access pretty easily and start updating games related stuff yourself. I don't know if there are other Russian speakers interested in games and Fedora, but there might be.
