Re: Please sponsor my game bug=923180

Hi Olek,

Thank you for the explanation.

It's reassuring to know that someone will actually take the time to thoroughly investigate these sorts of things just like
Markus went through and guided me through the packaging process making sure it met a certain level of quality.
I realize that this is really a volunteer effort and I'm very grateful for that.

Have a great day too!

Pedro

It is not your fault that infinitetux hasn't been accepted yet and the
wrong mentors bug report is not the cause for the delay. All packages
that are introduced to Debian have to be reviewed by the FTP team.
Unfortunately they haven't done that yet and I have asked them to review
infinitetux but there is no guarantee it will happen any time soon. Sorry.

Building on what Markus wrote, the legal review is a critical part of the new package review process. Now, IANAL but looking through yours that may be part of what's making it a more involved review for the FTP team. They have a responsibility to ensure that anything entering Debian adheres to the DFSG [1] and something like a straight GPL package is much easier to verify than something with more involved licensing. If those licenses are DFSG-free then your package should eventually get in but the team will have a bit more work to verify everything. Hope that helps clarify the length of time in this process.

Thanks again for the awesome contribution and have a great day!
