Hi Christoph,
sorry for not letting your email through to the stk-devel list -
besides being probably a bit too boring for most people on the list
(I cc all admins here) there is the fact that the outside temperature
is 42+ degrees, and the desktop with the password for the stk-devel
list is in a non-airconditioned room :)
Please CC me on any answers (and potentially Debian,Freedesktop ML]
Done
Hi all!
I'm the person who brought supertuxkart 0.5 into the Debian archive
and am currently working on your new release 0.6. While doing the
Hmm - I am a bit surprised, since 0.5 included the same track with
the same license ;) Guess we got lucky?
regular Copyright check I stumbled upon the License.txt in the island
track which is pretty much an stopper for any efforts in this regard.
I am most certainly not a license expert, but the license for those
textures appear to be quite liberal. What is the problem with them?
While I could probably replace some textures (I'll have to do this
for the CC < 3 in xr591) replacing all textures for this island
track is simply impossible for me.
I can see that (I want to ask what's wrong with cc 2.5, but I guess
I can find this in some FAQ). On a side note: if you replace the
textures, could you perhaps send us the modified textures as well?
While I can't guarantee that we will use them, we will have a look
at them!
What are your plans concerning this track? Any input for what to do
next? Supertuxkart 0.6 is quite nice to play and it would really be
sad if I could not make it available trough Debian ;)
Well, we have atm no further plans with this track - meaning it's one
of the graphically nicer tracks, but I can't see anyone of our
development team (and we are talking of mostly three people) having
the time to replace all textures (though of course we are happy to
receive a patch :) ). We will discuss this among us admins, but
honestly I can't promise anything atm.
If STK can not be included in Debian, at least we have by now a
static linux executable, which the Debian users can download ;)
Or do you see any other option? Perhaps you could post in a Debian
forum to see if someone volunteers? I am sure that Debian has a
bigger audience than STK :)
Best regards,
Joerg
