Just to ensure good work isn't lost, I've pushed the above work to the
salsa repo as-is. I encourage anyone from the future to also check if
any of the previous packaging is also useful, like a manpage/watch file.

Did I miss some mail? Its not ready, is is?

Could not find any RFS, Is has lintian errors [1] the bug [2] is not an ITP,
but has been. I guess you dropped the ITP?


[1] exerpt from https://mentors.debian.net/package/speed-dreams/:
Package has lintian errors
speed-dreams
E custom-library-search-path
W national-encoding
W non-multi-arch-lib-dir
W shared-library-lacks-prerequisites
W duplicate-font-file
W truetype-font-prohibits-installable-embedding

Would be cool to have a few more words to understand the context or your intentions.
Otherwise ones time gets easily wasted.

This game is a definitive improvement over its predecessor torcs!
It would be nice to have it in Debian (11?). :)

I attach a simple patch to fix the build on Debian testing. Changes:
* fix openscenegraph dependency
* order dependency by name and put each one on a new line

With the patch the game builds and runs fine.
Please consider applying.

Note that non amd64 builds fail with:

retitle 599884 RFP: speed-dreams -- Open source motorsport simulation
noowner 599884
thanks

I'm reverting this back to an RFP, as the copyright and license information for
some files is difficult to establish.

Additionally, a lot of the art in the game makes use of the Free Art License.
As far as I understand, this license is not unambiguously DFSG-compatible.

From a technical perspective, packaging this project was very easy, so I hope
this will not dissuade someone else from picking up this package if they are
interested.
