           Summary: Review Request: bsd-games - A collection of text-based
                    games
           Product: Fedora Extras
           Version: devel
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

Spec Name or Url: http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/bsd-games.spec
SRPM Name or Url: http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/bsd-games-2.17-1.src.rpm
Description: Bsd-games includes adventure, arithmetic, atc, backgammon, battlestar,
bcd, caesar, canfield, cfscores, cribbage, dm, fish, gomoku,
hunt, mille, monop, morse, number, phantasia, pig, pom, ppt, primes,
quiz, rain, random, robots, rot13, sail, snake, snscore, teachgammon,

Version 2.9 of this packages was originally included with RedHat 7 and subsequently dropped.  This is an update to 2.17 with some cleanup for Fedora Extras.

This package still needs work; I just wanted to throw it out here while it was still fresh in my mind.  Feel free to ignore this package review request until I've been able to clean up some of these known issues:

* No documentation other than manpages is included, not even a license file.
* None of the setgid games have been audited.  I suspect that most, if not all, will need to be modified to be made more secure.
* I have not tested the use of dm for limiting access to games.
* Most of the games have not been tested yet.
* rpmlint has lots of warnings about empty scoreboard files and strange setgid file permissions.  This can be ignored.
