[needs-packaging] Lugaru HD

[RussianNeuroMancer]

It is a DRM-free, third-person action game available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. The main character, Turner, is an anthropomorphic rebel bunny rabbit with impressive combat skills. In his quest to find those responsible for slaughtering his village, he uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy involving the corrupt leaders of the rabbit republic and the starving wolves from a nearby den. Turner takes it upon himself to fight against their plot and save his fellow rabbits from slavery.

Note that game assets are not GPL or compatible. Those are stated to be licensed as "can be redistributed for free, but cannot be resold without our permission". That might cause difficulties.

It can't be packaged as an Ubuntu official package because of the non free license.

I was able to build and run it, however it crashes when starting a game.

[Michael Hall (mhall119)]

Could it be included in Multiverse?

[Timmy Shih Jun Yee (shijun)]

I see quite a few games that have their code under a FOSS license and their media under a non-free license available in multiverse. So I think Lugaru can be packaged and put into multiverse.

The package is now under a GPL license and therefore can be packaged :) also we can include this package in universe if it meets all the requirements [1] here

I've provided packages for Lugaru for Debian (c.f. http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lugaru.html & lugaru-data.html), they should auto-sync soon and thus be available in the next release of Ubuntu (11.10).
