Fedora Games Spin at #1 in "5 Best Linux Distros for Gaming"

The Fedora Project is a community of people working together to build a
free and open source Linux software platform and to collaborate on and
share user-focused solutions built on that platform. The Fedora Games
spin offers a perfect showcase of the best Linux games available in
Fedora. This distro includes several genres, from first-person shooters
to real-time and turn-based strategy games to puzzles. Not all the
games available in Fedora are included on this spin, but trying out
this spin will give you a fair impression of distro’s ability to run
great games.

Angband
by Dennis Payne
I was thinking of trying to package Angband. I grabbed the source and a
spec file/patches used by Mageia. I got SDL working but X11 version
doesn't run under wayland. Curses version complained about not finding
a font. Obviously I can work through these but I have a question about
licensing.
Angband is GPL (or the angband license if you prefer). Some items in
the angband tar.gz are not. It explains which ones aren't. Mageia's
patch disables them so they are not installed (at least in theory I
haven't actually confirmed it). Mageia uses a source package of
%{name}-%{version}-libre.tar.xz. I'm guess they may have taken the
angband tar.gz and removed items to create it. Would Fedora require the
same? Can we ship a srpm with non-commercial content like the sounds in
angband?

Good luck. domenix domenix2008(a)yandex.ru
This would be better on the games list (games(a)lists.fedoraproject.org).
It will be a while yet before I have a lot of time to work on Fedora again.
Mostly I only get time to work on bugs that dsirectly affect me these days.
Also you can get wiki access pretty easily and start updating games related
stuff yourself.
I don't know if there are other Russian speakers interested in games and
Fedora, but there might be.
