Hello Please someone package the game `Yo Frankie!' (http://www.yofrankie.org, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo_Frankie!) by the Blender Institute, the makers of `Elephants Dream' (http://www.elephantsdream.org, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephants_Dream) and `Big Buck Bunny' (http://www.bigbuckbunny.org, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Buck_Bunny) and also the folks that brought us Blender (www.blender.org), the versatile 3D modeller/renderer that's already in Debian. As was the case with their previous projects, their newest creation features captivating graphics, the kind of graphics that's not often found in Open Source gaming. What's more, all the data is available under a Creative Commons license. Many of the dependencies of yofrankie are already in Debian (Python, CrystalSpace, Blender, ...). There's a APT repository that's got some newer versions of the packages already in Debian plus some .deb packages of some other stuff that might be necessary to run yofrankie: http://b2cs.delcorp.org/index.php/Debian_Packages. The Blender Insitute hosts `Yo Frankie!' as a "Zero Install package" (see http://0install.net). A post of interest to prospective maintainers might be http://www.yofrankie.org/?p=185. Cheers (The long description is adapted from the Wikipedia article on `Yo Frankie!'.) * Package name : yofrankie Version : 0.0.4 Upstream Author : Blender Institute (www.yofrankie.org) * URL : http://www.yofrankie.org/ * License : GPL/LGPL, Creative Commons Programming Lang: C++, Python Description : graphical Open Source Game by the Blender Institute Yo Frankie! is an open source computer game by the Blender Institute.

Hi all, Extracted some info from my IRC logs about issues with Yo Frankie!: Aug 27 22:53:26 <Baby> is anybody thinking about packaging apricot? Aug 27 22:53:30 <Baby> http://www.yofrankie.org/?page_id=15 Aug 27 23:00:03 <Rhonda> Don't forget that you need to replace the Yo Frankie! logo Aug 27 23:00:24 <Rhonda> "Excluded from the Creative Commons is: ... Yo Frankie! logo" Aug 27 23:00:49 <Baby> yup, we have to rename it too as iceweasel? Aug 27 23:01:26 <Rhonda> Doesn't sound like. It says logo, not wording.

Jul 27 00:04:58 <pabs> no releases, just SVN Jul 27 00:05:20 <pabs> multiple engines with no clarity about the difference Jul 27 00:06:35 <DPic> ah Jul 27 00:09:02 <pabs> probably changed since then Jul 27 00:09:39 <DPic> it's a great game to show off what can be done with all FLOSS software Jul 27 00:10:28 <pabs> DPic: anyways, best send a ping to the bug and Runa to find out what the progress is Jul 27 00:10:51 <DPic> Runa? Jul 27 00:10:58 <pabs> the person doing the packaging Jul 27 00:11:14 <pabs> reading the bug helps :) Jul 27 00:11:36 * pabs looking at upstream Jul 27 00:11:47 <pabs> 120Mb zip file, ouch Jul 27 00:12:54 <pabs> I guess the crystal space version is no longer developed, the download for it is from Sept 2008 Jul 27 00:13:57 <DPic> what was even the difference? Jul 27 00:14:07 <pabs> no idea Jul 27 00:16:02 * pabs looks at the blender version zip Jul 27 00:16:30 <pabs> ahh, looks like this is the binary version Jul 27 00:17:57 <pabs> doesn't look like there is any copyright info at all Jul 27 00:18:07 <pabs> only two files have a license Jul 27 00:19:28 * pabs tries svn Jul 27 00:20:58 <pabs> SVN server isn't responding Jul 27 00:21:35 <pabs> egads, the zip file includes a whole bunch of windows stuff Jul 27 00:21:41 <pabs> precompiled no less Jul 27 00:21:58 * pabs feels his eyes bleeding Jul 27 00:23:06 <pabs> hmm, .blend files have weird paths embedded in them: /usr/home/intrr/blender/blend/ Jul 27 00:23:11 <pabs> wtf is /usr/home Jul 27 00:27:15 <pabs> some of the windows stuff is GPL and I don't see any source so that is a GPL violation Jul 27 00:29:53 <pabs> one of the sounds looks like it came from freesound.org, which is under a decidedly non-free license Jul 27 00:31:46 <pabs> make that two sounds Jul 27 00:32:08 <pabs> 3 Jul 27 00:33:51 <pabs> I wonder about source code for some of the images Jul 27 00:34:26 <pabs> there is a font embedded in one of the images, I wonder which font that is Jul 27 00:36:52 <pabs> ah, the ttf in the tarball must be it Jul 27 00:37:22 <pabs> would be nice to have the .sfd source for that ttf Jul 27 00:39:59 <pabs> so, in short, not yet ready to be packaged for Debian Jul 27 00:41:24 <stevecotton> :( thanks for trying Jul 27 00:41:55 <pabs> DPic, stevecotton: feel free to post the above to the bug log Some information about the CrystalSpace vs Blender versions is here: http://www.yofrankie.org/july-production-update/
I'd say this is a somewhat important game, and is already packaged in PlayDeb. From what i understand, it needed the new version of Blender, so it should work fine now. http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2009/10/yo-frankie-now-available-for-masses-in.html
