Hi, as I suggested in one of my last mails, I had a look at Fedora's games portfolio [1] [2] [3] and wanted to find out whether there are some good games missing in Debian. For starters I found "Barbie Seahorse Adventures" [4] and I intend to package the game for Debian. Seahorse-Adventures is a retro-like platform game written in Python and it looks very charming with its fitting oldschool sounds and graphics. It is also suitable for children. I am only concerned about two things. 1. The name Fedora uses seahorse-adventures for the source and binary package and I think that's ok. However I can imagine someone doesn't like the resemblance to GNOME's seahorse application. Shall i stick to "seahorse-adventure" or is "barbie-seahorse" a more appropriate name for the game? "barbie-seahorse-adventures" seems being too long and only "barbie", hmm, i'm not sure. 2. The font My second concern is the embedded 04B_20__.TTF font wich is officially availabe from this website. [5] The font is accompanied by an about.gif file which indicates that the font was granted to the public domain, "You may use them as you like". However the font's Japanese about page clearly states that commercial use is not permitted thus i intend to replace the font. [6] Feedback on both issues is most welcome. Hans, since I know that you follow this list, allow me to ask you some questions about Fedora that might be interesting for others here, too. Does Fedora provide some kind of overview for all packaged games on its official website or do I have to install Fedora to generate a list for myself? I'm asking because i can't find a complete list of games and the package database does not let me filter for games.
