Hi all,
Chromium BSU upstream recently gave me admin access to the chromium-bsu sf.net project. Hi Mark :)
I'll be converting the upstream CVS to SVN and then committing the Debian and Ubuntu patches there.
Brian Redfern is working on some free music to replace the non-free music[1]. His latest attempt is OK, but doesn't suit the game as much as the originals. He is working on some new versions that are more like the originals. The sounds are also non-free but we don't have any replacements for those yet. In the Debian SVN, I've added a patch to make the game also look in ~/.chromium-data/ so users can play the game with custom music, sounds, graphics and fonts. This obviously also allows the use of the non-free sound/music too.
I'd like to add interested people to the project so they can commit patches from their distros or that they have created. If you are interested, please let me know what your sourceforge login is.

Did anyone try contacting partnersinrhyme.com about this directly? I know their licence is not DFSG-free, but asking nicely never hurt anyone (actually, I can think of several scenarios, but I digress). If no one replies, I will probably poke them some time next week.

From the bug log, it doesn't look like anyone did.

That would be good.
Hi Paul,

This is now finally done.

This is still open. This is especially important since I noticed that chromium includes non-free source code as well as sound/music:
Brian tells me the music is almost done.
