2010-07-26 08:59:23 Ayrton Santana description Binary package hint: blobwars Blobwars doesn't appear to have any audio. The forum post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9085663&postcount=6 suggests that this is because the blobwars audio is non-free. Can it then be added as a non-free package? Or at least made clear to the user why there is no audio and what they can do about it. Perhaps in the man page. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: blobwars 1.14-dfsg-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-19.28-generic 2.6.32.10+drm33.1 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-19-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Apr 12 14:15:12 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_AU.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: blobwars Guus Sliepen say: "The sound issue is caused by licensing issues, not by any problem in the source code, see /usr/share/doc/blobwars/README.Debian. Since a large part of the original sound and music lacks any copyright and author information, it is deemed undistributable by Debian, not even in non-free. Replacement music has been found and a version of blobwars that contains it might be released in a few months, sound is next. If you wish to help finding replacement sounds, that would be great.
