[opensuse-packaging] Packaging of Plee the Bear and Andy's Super Great Park
Hello, I am a developer of open source games and I would like to see them in various Linux distributions. These games are Plee the Bear http://www.stuff-o-matic.com/ptb/ and Andy's Super Great Park http://www.stuff-o-matic.com/asgp/ Both are available under the GPL 2 and CC by-sa licenses. The source code is available on their respective websites. Would you accept to package these games for OpenSUSE ?

In general, openSUSE accepts any opensource licensed package into it's online repositories. The only real requirements are: - Someone agrees to be the maintainer (ie. to do the work of putting them in the repo) - If it is to go into the official release repos, then the maintainer has to agree to provide security fixes for 2 years - It has to be a legal package under German law. (No cracking tools with no social redeeming value allowed). Note that there are technical issues associated with the quality of the packaging that may have to be overcome, so I don't want the "doing the work" part to sound trivial, nor do I want it sound like there is no quality control. Thus the question becomes are you willing to be the maintainer and create the RPM packaging? If not, you need to recruit a volunteer.
