Description of the projects to be hosted
- Project Name: Zandronum
- Project URL: https://zandronum.com/
- Project Maintainers: Benjamin Berkels torr.samaho@quantentunnel.de, Adam Kaminski kaminskiadam9@gmail.com
- Project License: 4-clause license based on the OSI-approved and GPL-compatible Sleepycat License, with the addition of the "No Endorsement" clause from the 3-clause New BSD License.
Please explain here how they meet our current criteria.
Main criteria
-
Free / Open Source -
main development repositories
We are currently using https://osdn.net/ for our development repositories, but since OSDN is not working properly anymore and it does not seem that this will be fixed, we want to move all our repositories to a new FOSS host.
-
you are an official maintainer of the project
I am an official maintainer and also founder of this project.
-
agreement to acknowledge where appropriate the help provided by Octobus and Clever Cloud by hosting on foss.heptapod.net
We will of course add the acknowledgements, if you grant our hosting request.
Additional information
Knowing this can help in case there are constraints on resources and/or administrators availability at the time of the request. It can also help us suggest the right solution for the needs of the project.
- is the project officially released? In downstream distributions or packaging systems?
Yes, it had numerous releases in the past (see https://zandronum.com/) and is release on flathub (https://flathub.org/apps/com.zandronum.Zandronum) and in the AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zandronum).
- estimation of the user base if possible, or number of downloads, reverse dependencies…
Right now, I see more than 100 active players on the public server list. I would estimate the total number of users (players) is above 1000.
- number of maintainers and regular contributors
A handful.
- where is the project currently hosted? Are there issue trackers, review systems, CI/CD to hook to or to replace somehow?
The hg repositories are currently hosted at https://osdn.net/. This also has a tracker, but we don't use that. We host a tracker at https://zandronum.com/tracker/. We are looking mainly for a place to host our hg repositories.
