Bug#497859: RFP: yofrankie -- graphical Open Source Game by the Blender Institute
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Hello
Please someone package the game `Yo Frankie!' (http://www.yofrankie.org,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo_Frankie!) by the Blender Institute, the
makers of `Elephants Dream' (http://www.elephantsdream.org,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephants_Dream) and `Big Buck Bunny'
(http://www.bigbuckbunny.org, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Buck_Bunny)
and also the folks that brought us Blender (www.blender.org), the versatile
3D modeller/renderer that's already in Debian.
As was the case with their previous projects, their newest creation features
captivating graphics, the kind of graphics that's not often found in Open
Source gaming. What's more, all the data is available under a Creative
Commons license.
Many of the dependencies of yofrankie are already in Debian (Python,
CrystalSpace, Blender, ...). There's a APT repository that's got some newer versions
of the packages already in Debian plus some .deb packages of some other stuff
that might be necessary to run yofrankie:
http://b2cs.delcorp.org/index.php/Debian_Packages.
The Blender Insitute hosts `Yo Frankie!' as a "Zero Install package"
(see http://0install.net).
A post of interest to prospective maintainers might be

Cheers
