Files URL: http://home.zonnet.nl/jwrdegoede/gcompris-files.tar.gz
Description:
GCompris / I Got IT is an educationnal game for children starting at 2.
More than 100 different activities are proposed:
* Click on the animals => learn the mouse/click usage
* Type the falling letters => learn the keyboard usage
* Falling Dices
* Falling words
* Basic algebra
* Time learning with an analog clock
* Puzzle game with famous paintings
* Drive Plane to catch clouds in increasing number
* Balance the scales
* And much more ...

Some activities make use of sounds.  For those you'll have to install the
gcompris-sound package for the languages you intend to use.

First of all sorry, no SRPM the upstream sources are way too large for my sucky ISP provided homepage. You can get the upstream tarball from:
http://sf.net/projects/gcompris
And then the files section.

All other needed SOURCES files are in gcompris-files.tar.gz, just untar this in your SOURCES dir and drop the main tarball in your SOURCES dir and you're good to go.

Notice that part of gcompris (1 activity) needs gnucap, which I've packaged too:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189699

Last some small know issues, which I've also reported upstream:

1) If you switch the language to dutch and then start gcompris from a
cmdline the following messages appear:
parser error : EntityRef: expecting ';'
parser error : EntityRef: expecting ';'

These are libxml messages, things work fine though.

2) If you don't have any (valid) alphabet sounds and try to run the
   letter-click (click the letter you hear) board a message is shown
   saying that you need to install some alphabet sounds, it is however
   possible to still start and play the game behind the message box by
   clicking the letters. Also it is possible to exit to the main menu
   by pressing the home icon, the message box stays in place then , but
   its drawn over the home menu instead of over the letter click board.
