Hi all,

I hope I'm writing to the right address to pose this question, if not,
please forgive me and point me to the right place.

I've recently discovered a wonderful linux game called Urban Terror,
staying to what wikipedia says, the game is fully released under GPL
licensing.

I'm wondering if it is possible to make a debian package and include it
at least in the "sid" release.
I can make the first-released package and help maintaining it (but I
can't maintain it alone), if someone can confirm me that this game is
debian-policy-compatible and it will be included.


Thank you all.

Gabriele

P.s. Please send me a copy of your replies, I'm not following this list
by now.


I had never heard of this game, but it seems to be a mod for Q3A or
ioUrbanTerror. You would need to package both the UrbanTerror mod as
well as ioUrbanTerror to make this productive, I think. It looks fun.

You might want to talk with people on the debian-games list and have a
look at some of the package maintainer guides:
