Getting more packers for the Games SIG

[Hans de Goede]

Hi,

I already wrote about this in my Games SIG "State of the Union", but I believe 
we need to get more packagers / contributers into the game (pun intended).

There are still a lot of good games out there to package and most of us carry a 
full load of games already, so any ideas / suggestions?

Regards,

Hans

I and several other FC users are still panging away at Croquet to get it
to run under Linux. Once I can get that to happen, I'd volunteer to
shove it into an rpm. Ric

I am / we are always interested in more (worthwhile) games, if they meet the 
Fedora guidelines for free software.

Can you put them somewhere public and send a link to the list?

Sure, the latest that practically works is at: 
http://www.croquetcollaborative.org/wordpress/?page_id=5
... you'll have to chmod +x the file "Croquet.sh" and all the binaries
in the ../bin/linuxi686/ directory. They still haven't gotten the hang
of file permissions. <grins> This one does work if you have the mesa
libs installed. It segfaults just using nVidia drivers for hardware
mesa / openGL. Maybe you can figure it out??

.. and for anyone idly interest in virtual worlds, check this page out.

I can give it a shot! I need to learn how to package up RPMs anyway. Ric
