Description André Barbosa 2011-08-20 01:17:35 CEST 
Would like to see the einstein game in Mageia.
Comment 1 Rémi Verschelde 2011-10-13 21:34:41 CEST 
I tried to package Einstein, but I ran into a two issues:

1) The code must be patched so that Einstein compiles on 64-bit architectures, and I'm not knowledgeable enough in C++ to do so.

2) The license is incertain: the website says that the game is under GPL, but it is not sufficient according to the Mageia policies. I asked the developers for more info and a COPYING file but had no answer until now.

Since the game was last updated in 2005, I suppose the license won't be add to the upstream source, so this is a WONTFIX.

I'll reopened if the developer answers me, though.
