Hi
I talked to Jesse Keating on IRC today and we might be potentially be able to release a games spin officially as part of Fedora 8!
I have copied the kickstart file into this page. Try it out. If there are changes in the packages required, edit the kickstart section or let me know.

Cool, thanks!
Is there a reason why flightgear is commented out? It is available now.

Refresh. I have removed the comment already. My local repository was a bit old and didn't have this package. I removed it for my local build to workaround that but you can try it out with flightgear included.

There are some packages missing like bygfoot, glob2 or warzone2100 that would be nice to have included :)

Its a wiki feel free to add any games you think should be on there. If we go over the size of a DVD we will start weeding out stuff.
I added manaworld and enigma. manaworld depends on compat-guichan05, but I see that the kickstart explicitly omits compat packages. Will '-compat*' prevent compat packages that are dependencies of other explicitly listed packages from getting installed?

Nope. Dependencies will always be installed.

Since this LiveDVD is also going to be installable, do we want to include game servers, such as crossfire, xpilot-ng-server, and cyphesis?

No I don't think we want that, we don't want to make it a larger download then necessary. I also think we should try to make sure we only include real good games, some games are fun but lack a certain spit and polish. atomorun for example is a game which I would not want to include.

I vote for warzone2100. I'm addicted to it. I did have some problems with the rpm, so I grabbed the tar file and built it. That seemed to work, so there must be some minor glitch in the rpm file. sauerbraten is also a high quality game to consider. It's a quake like shooter. Ric

Sauerbraten game content has a commercial use restriction that prevents it from being included in Fedora. It has been explicitly listed in the "will not package" list though third party repos can and probably will package this. Maybe we can package a subset and use the autodownloader to pull in more content optionally.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games
I saw claims in the SMC website that they have cleaned up their content in recent versions. Game similarity by itself shouldn't prevent a game from being included. Worth reconsidering IMO.

Similarity shouldn't but SMC has all the original artwork redrawn, it is not new artwork, remember those semi transparent papers you used in your early school days, which you would lay over a drawing and then copy the drawing like that? SMC is very much like that.
I just took a look and they have finally replaced the main character by something original. but the enemies and the level blocks still look like straight copies (they are not they are redrawn, but is that enough to claim its an original work?)
We could ask Spot to be sure.

Hans

Spot, can you look into this?

Hey Folks,
The Super Mario Chronicles or rather Secret Mario Chronicles (SMC) is a good game. But there still is quite some work to be done before actually packaging it into a GamesLiveCD.
The levels are incomplete in some places. The saved games in the list have levels that are not there in the actual game (which keeps you wondering which world they come from....)
And ofcourse the lacking originality very rightly put up by Hans.
Regards Sanjith

I thought that there had been a music restriction, and it has been replaced. Or was that warzone? I'll check. Ric

Did anyone try creating a DVD image from this kickstart file locally? How did it go? I am hoping to get a games spin out along with test 3 for early feedback.
