Feature changed by: Nikos Chantziaras (realnc) Feature #310825, revision 2 Title: QTads in OpenSuSE Repository Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: D D (xyzzy-magicat) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: QTads (http://qtads.sourceforge.net) is the only Linux program currently capable of running the full/multimedia version of interactive fiction (http://ifwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page) games written in the TADS (Text Adventure Development System) (http://www.tads.org/tads.htm) code (see "why do we want this" reason for more info). At the moment, it's not available in any OpenSuSE repository, including the 3rd party Webpin-accessible or Build Service user home projects. Linux binaries are technically available but they're built off Debian Lenny and have enough version-specific dependencies for having it be in a repository strongly preferable, particularly for GNOME users and/or novices. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: There's a strong, growing community of people playing and writing interactive fiction -- enough to fuel multiple annual highly- competitive awards, conventions, review sites, local user groups, and game databases. TADS is a common favorite among players and creators, as it allows the author to divide the screen into sections, control all aspects of font display, and make use of PNG/JPG images, WAV/MIDI/mp3 files, or clickable hyperlinks, resulting in a richer experience that appeals to a much wider audience. + Discussion: + #1: Nikos Chantziaras (realnc) (2011-01-22 02:04:48) + I've added this to the build service: + https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=qtads&project=home% + 3Arealnc -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310825
