Re: Spectrum ROMs in RPM Fusion

Hi all, I'm going to submit FBZX, a Spectrum emulator, for review in Fedora. Fedora allows the packaging of Spectrum emulators but it doesn't allow Spectrum ROMs, even though they are distributable. Therefore I'll have to remove the ROMs from the tarball as it is currently done by fuse-emulator. Since there is just one Spectrum emulator in Fedora, the required ROMs are currently shipped in RPM Fusion by the package fuse-emulator-roms. My idea is to make a package called spectrum-roms and submit it for inclusion in RPM Fusion. All packaged Spectrum emulators will have to be patched to find the required ROMs under /usr/share/spectrum-roms/ and should have a README.Fedora file that should forward the user to RPM Fusion to install spectrum-roms. Probably it will also be a good idea to document this on RPM Fusion wiki.
