I’m forwarding this request for sponsorship to the Games Team mailing list, as this new package is the kind of thing that is an obvious fit for our team. DevilutionX is a native engine for the original Diablo game, that is already supported by ./play.it. As it is not in Debian repositories yet, we currently build a local package from the upstream binaries, but we could stop doing that as soon as DevilutionX reaches the archive. In addition, having it in the archive would add Diablo to the list of games that game-data-packager could easily support. Warning: before it is actually uploaded, the section must be fixed. The SustainableUse license includes a non-commercial clause, so this package should enter non-free, not main: > You may use or modify the software only for your own internal business > purposes or for non-commercial or personal use. You may distribute the > software or provide it to others only if you do so free of charge for > non-commercial purposes. (…) https://salsa.debian.org/krekhov/devilutionx/-/blob/debian/latest/LICENSE.md#limitations Maybe it needs some fixes to the debian/copyright file too, as it currently wrongly identifies this license as "free software" while it is actually not DFSG-compliant: > This package is free software; (…) https://salsa.debian.org/krekhov/devilutionx/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/copyright#L6218 I would gladly sponsor it myself, but I am not a DD yet ;) I plan to come back from DebConf25 with a brand new DD hat, so if this package is still pending then I would assume sponsorship for it. But I hope it is going to reach the Debian archive before that.
