Debian: feedback and tests welcome
apo:
Bad news first:
It will take more time than anticipated to get UFO:AI officially into Debian because I can't find someone who wants to do a peer-review of the game. The game also has to be approved by Debian's "ftp masters" and their queue with new packages is stuck with hundreds of packages at the moment. There is also another random problem when it comes to compiling the maps. Sometimes the compilation terminates with a segmentation fault at different compilation steps. Happens on 64bit and 32bit systems.
Good news:
To shorten the time a little I have created two Ubuntu PPA's for Ubuntu 14.04 aka Trusty and the upcoming 14.10 aka Utopic.
https://launchpad.net/~apoleon/+archive/ubuntu/ufoai-ppa
https://launchpad.net/~apoleon/+archive/ubuntu/ufoai-ppa-trusty
Just follow the install instructions on those pages. The packages are based on the official Debian packaging. They were simply recompiled.

Hi folks,
We have found the following possible mistakes in UFO:AI's LICENSES file and it would be really great if you could take a look at it. The first bulk of files seems like a pattern to me. The sources were obtained from commons.wikimedia.org. The website always states that those files are either licensed under the GFDL or CC-BY-SA-3.0. LICENSES mentions they are all GPL-2+. What is correct?

Comments are much appreciated.

Hi,
My thoughts:
Seems like we'll have to remove base/textures/tex_buildings/carpet016.png, this texture is used in the following maps:
--- Code: ---base/maps/oriental/or_house_e.map
base/maps/italy/it_main.map (x5)
base/maps/africa/af_craft_crash_fighter.map (x5)
base/maps/africa/af_house4a.map (x5)
base/maps/africa/af_house4.map (x5)
--- End code ---
If mappers could replace these with some other texture ASAP it would be great
In the of the images by Sindwiller, it seem to me like a case of copypaste editing gone wrong, but Mattn should be able to clarify things here (see commit 1f7a9bf5)
In the case of the textures by MCR (sourced form Commons) it seems we have an infringement of the license, which I want to think was unintentional, MCR has left the project but maybe we could contact him about this, if that fails, I think (but I'm not a lawyer) that we can invoke clause 7a of the CC-BY-SA (CC-BY in one case!) license

Hi DarkRain,
thanks for your reply. Then I will wait until you have found a replacement for carpet016.png and then use this one instead. Since the other images are all under a free license, I don't see any problems if you switch from GPL-2+ to CC-BY-SA-3.0 and note that in LICENSES. Clause 7a might be helpful but of course, if MCR agreed to a license change, that would be even better.

Hi,
I have converted the LICENSES file into a machine-readable copyright file that is used across the Debian distribution. One of its benefits is that you can easily spot missing copyright information. The following files are not accounted for in LICENSES hence I assume they are covered by your general GPL-2+ license. If this is not true, please let me know. You can find the "ufoai_copyright.py" script that I used to convert the LICENSES file here:
