openra is an open-source reimplemntation of red-alert / command & conquer, old games from EA games. It is fully playable and could be packaged for mageia.

Is there a way of making this work without the closed source data files. I have gotten it to compile, but it needs some legally questionable bits from the old games.
Indeed, you are right: original files are needed. :-( Dont know if that's still interesting to package it then?
In fact, EA published the games as freeware some years ago, and there's a button in openra to automatically download them. cf https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/FAQ "Do I need the original RA/C&C game installed?"
Joseph, do you think it's possible now to package openra?
