Hi I talked to Jesse Keating on IRC today and we might be potentially be able to release a games spin officially as part of Fedora 8! I have copied the kickstart file into this page. Try it out. If there are changes in the packages required, edit the kickstart section or let me know.

I also think we should try to make sure we only include real good games, some games are fun but lack a certain spit and polish. atomorun for example is a game which I would not want to include.

Ric Sauerbraten game content has a commercial use restriction that prevents it from being included in Fedora. It has been explicitly listed in the "will not package" list though third party repos can and probably will package this. Maybe we can package a subset and use the autodownloader to pull in more content optionally. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games I saw claims in the SMC website that they have cleaned up their content in recent versions. Game similarity by itself shouldn't prevent a game from being included.

Spot, can you look into this?
