I have contacted the folks behind
Desura (ModDB) for possible distribution via that channel. We'll see how it goes, and I'll be talking to other team members about it. Should be fairly straightforward if we release point versions to it and then have the option to install betas. (Should be possible, since we have betas on ModDB already)
If I had a more automated way of packaging for the other two main Linux targets (DEB, RPM) in addition to generic, it would probably be used by community repositories. Though since I don't work a lot on Linux, especially compared to Tequila and some users, maybe all we need is a QC of proposed packages if others want to take a crack at such.
Like to hear directly if you can handle making packages for your distribution of choice, but keep in mind as I said before, some will not allow inclusion except in a community repository. It's very similar case as Urban Terror as we need the same sources used to compile the binaries shipped with the package or by another optional repository package to satisfy
GPL v2. (Like -dev on Debian-alike)
To satisfy the
GPL v2 you either bundle the source or make sure that for 3 years after sources are available somewhere public for the revision used to compile such binaries. Look for yourself and you'll see that. I don't think SourceForge is going anywhere, so we can just make it very obvious in the license text or readme that it can be found there, at the revision we used.
Our content is freeware dependency, somewhat like
Creative Commons BY-NC, which means content is to have credits left intact, is to not be sold for gain.
It's required to provide binaries, source, or both to let the content function and license texts must be bundled at minimal to keep our content people happy.
Other rules:
Some content may be explicitly encumbered and is not to be reversed and made public. If you do it on your own, you must not share the modifications, which makes it also like
Artistic License 2.0. If you want to submit content modifications, it's always better to ask us first. To be safe, ship vanilla content with binaries. The binaries are under
GPL v2 you may make modifications to the engine as long as you make users aware of such to differentiate your version from ours.
Binaries could in theory be used without content if you have used it for other purposes. You can ship the source standalone, but if you ship binaries they must have instructions noting where the source can be found, or simply have them accompany.
