Subject: nonfree package nonexistant?

Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:12:13 -0500

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: blobwars
Version: 1.08-dfsg-1
Severity: normal

The blobwars-data-nonfree mentioned in README.Debian never
seems to have materalised?

Also, blobwars complains "there is no soundcard" when I run it.
I thought perhaps it was using OSS, but aoss doesn't help,
and I see it's linked to ALSA. Of course, my laptop has
a sound card, with a typical ALSA driver. Left wondering if
this is some artifact of the sound support having been ripped
out?

Gah, I seem to have forgotten to upload it :( I will do so.

It should work fine without sounds. But is it only a warning you see or does
blobwars not start at all? In the latter case, could you do strace -eopen
blobwars and send me the output?

It's a warning, but for me, blobwars w/o sound is not very fun.

What happened to blobwars-data-nonfree?  I saw it in NEW a few weeks
ago, but it's not in the archive AFAICS.

It was rejected due to missing license and/or copyright information for most of
the music and sound contained in the non-free data set. Therefore, it cannot be
distributed. I tried to search for this information myself, but although I
could find it for some of the files, it was only a tiny fraction. Even upstream
does not know it.

There are two options left:

1) either a blobwars-data-nonfree-installer package is created that downloads
   and installs the music and sounds straight from the Parallel Realities website,
   or

2) new, more-or-less freely licensed music and sounds is created from scratch
   or downloaded from sites such as jamendo.com and ccmixter.org.

Personally I think option 2) is the best long term option, but I do not have
time at the moment to do that.

This does sound like a rather arduous task, and is a real shame because
blobwars is awesome!


Thanks for the update,
