Hi guys,
I am interested in contributing emulators, games and other amusements
which can't be included in Fedora for legal/policy reasons. I'm
currently working on making the non-free pSX Sony Playstation emulator
work on a modern system which uses PulseAudio [1]. It's considered the
best emulator for the PS1 on Windows and works almost identically on
GNU/Linux, but is difficult to get included in distributions (especially
Fedora) for both legal and upstream abandonment reasons.
Since I've never packaged software for any project before, I'm guessing
I need someone to sponsor me. I'm completely new to contributing but
I'm not new to using Fedora and would like to give something back to the
community which has provided a decent product (for free, even!) for many
years. I'd also like to make the same packages I submit available for
RHEL, as they're going to be mostly gaming-related, the usual
ABI/versioning considerations are likely to be less of an issue.
Looking forward to working with you guys to bring more
games/entertainment to Fedora!
Regards,
Martyn Hare
