The button I was clicking only says "Submit Changes". That was the only way I could see to make additions/changes to the task.

i think the cryptic "nogroup" message may have been related to the "submit changes and return to this item" button.  were you using that, julian, by any chance?  (anyway, trying out a fix from sergey with this comment ...)

Not nitpicks at all! Thanks for pointing out those mistakes.

Hello Julian,

I've downloaded the archive,
thank you for providing such well organized licensing information.

The project has been approved, and you should receive an email with further instructions.

Few nitpicks in the LICENSES file that I'll ask you to fix when committing the files to the savannah repositories:

1. The listed file 'sound/flyby.wav' likely refers to 'sound/flyby.ogg'

2. The files 'gfx/explode1.png' and 'gfx/gameover.png' are listed twice,
  while 'gfx/explode2.png' is not mentioned.

3. The following files are not mentioned in LICENSES:
  gfx/icon26.png
  gfx/execTrans1.png
  gfx/execTrans2.png

Regards,
 - Assaf

And, Qupzilla failed as well.

Or not... splitting it up didn't help.

I've tried Abrowser and Midori so far, with no luck.

You know what? I think I see what the problem is. The file size limit for attachments is about 16 MB. The tarfile for Starfighter is about 45 MB.

Could the difference have anything to do with the browser's handling of the wrong HTML syntax? I see various places where it appears a span element is opened within a noscript element, but then closed outside of the noscript element. Just a wild guess, though; I suppose it's more likely a result of IceCat's privacy-related settings.

I'll try with some other browsers.

Nothing to do with your submission, but I just tried to upload a test file with javascript turned off in my browser (seamonkey) and it worked ok.  Admittedly it was through edit->preferences rather than noscript, but still, I would have expected it to fail if it was something about savannah's javascript.  (as far as i know, js is not required for anything meaningful on savannah.)
hmm ...

Hm, this file is a little big, but it looks like you can wget this link: https://fs08n3.sendspace.com/dl/5615d005bc4700c3d607aeb754b76bc2/550b723443b6f483/zzd46i/starfighter.tar.gz (It's probably going to expire at some point; I don't know how long it'll work)

Sorry, I can't seem to attach the file. I keep getting an error that says "no group chosen".

I'm using IceCat, but with JavaScript disabled completely via NoScript.

Hello Julian,

Thank you for submitting a new project to host on GNU Savannah.

Sadly,
I am unable to download the file from the URL you've provided using 'wget'.

Please upload an archive of the project to savannah using the 'attach file(s)' section at the bottom of this page:
 https://savannah.gnu.org/task/index.php?13522

Then project evaluation could proceed.

Regards,
 - Assaf

Ah, I forgot. To get the download link from there without that website's proprietary JavaScript, make sure your user agent string doesn't identify you as a Windows user. It does something weird to try to get Windows users to download some sort of adware program, and that blocks the download link.

I just noticed that the tarfile I uploaded includes the whole Git repository, and that inflates the size quite a bit. Here's a tarball without that:

While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific Group Administration page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):



Registration Details


  • Name: Project: Starfighter
  • System Name:  starfighter
  • Type: non-GNU software and documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v3 or later (Art assets are mostly taken from OpenGameArt.org, with the exception of some backgrounds, which are from NASA. Everything is under a libre license, usually either CC BY, CC BY-SA, or public domain. The text file LICENSES lists the license of every art asset and other data file.)





Description:

Project: Starfighter is a game released in 2003 by Parallel Realities, written in C++. The original game had rather sloppy code and non-libre art assets. What I have done is finished replacing these art assets with libre ones (work that was started on sourceforge.net/projects/pr-starfighter), and start refactoring the code to make it better, work that I intend to continue to do.


Other Software Required:

SDL2 - zlib License <http://www.libsdl.org/>
