I've installed 0 A.D. from this openSUSE .rpm repository: http://download.open...ames/Fedora_15/ Everything works fine, except the Scenario Editor, which crashes my computer when I try to open it. For what it's worth, I think it's better to maintain stable alpha releases than monthly builds, because it's more stability for the user and less work for the maintainer. In Fedora's graphical package manager, I check to see the dependencies for that openSUSE 0 A.D. package and there are quite a few. However, I have checked if Boost is already in Fedora's main repository, and indeed it is. ENet is also there, but it's only version 1.2.1. NVTT isn't. Here is Fedora's policy on bundled libraries: https://fedoraprojec...ndled_Libraries and https://fedoraprojec...ndled_Libraries So, I guess we'll just have to patiently wait it out until all the bundled libraries have been purged?

Given the tremendous promise of 0 A.D. even at this early alpha phase, I found it unfortunate that it is not included in Fedora's default repository. Sadly, I have neither the experience in packaging nor the time and discipline to learn. If someone with experience in maintaining packages (and preferably someone already involved with 0 A.D. development) would step up to the task, that would be great. The criteria for Fedora package maintainers are found here: https://fedoraprojec...aintainers/Join Obvious Benefits: Make Fedora a better GNU/Linux distribution by adding yet another quality game to its core repos Expand 0 A.D.'s user base and thus enrich its community, promoting further development Downsides: Somebody has to go through the trouble of submitting the package and then maintaining it for subsequent releases.
