Re: Lost Labyrinth
You are right its purebasic.
Which means only the source is free, the compiler is not.
And that means it has to move to contrib, no?
What do I have to do then?
I think for most players its enough to get a working binary.
The installation should be easy.
Means f.e. that the right have to be set.
(I got a highscores.dat which has to be writeable for the user)
And that the program finds its files we have to change in its directory. For
which in my rpm I create a wrapper file. And place this in /usr/games that
the user can simply type "laby" everywhere.
And finally I create an Icon on the desktop.
If its helping I can provide the spec for my rpm.
Should I still place an email there? or is this only working for Debian main?
