FWIW, dwarf fortress is available in the Arch Linux repos, so it's possible this game could be made available in the Solus repos too.

Dwarf Fortress in Solus Repos would be cool! I found relevant copyright information in "readme.txt" in their downloadable gamefiles:

All rights are retained by Tarn Adams, save the following: you may redistribute the unmodified binary and accompanying files, provided you do so free of charge. You may distribute modified text files from the data and raw folders

So I guess it could be redistributed in Solus Repo? Even with custom settings if that is necessary.

So, I investigated a bit about the situation of Dwarf Fortress for example in Arch Linux and i have a few problems to give to note:

• most people mod dwarf fortress, by overriding settings and some files in the main game folder. Installing dwarf fortress as a package would probably require root rights to do so and also to override files of the package. On Arch Linux they have various pre-modded game packages in AUR

• A comment in Arch Linux pkgbuild is kinda unsettling (but also their work could probably be used):

I made a fucking github repo with the sole purpose of unfucking df a bit
We try to compile whatever little bit of df is open source

imho installing df via lutris makes most sense, but i guess lets see what the triage team says.

I know this is closed, but seeing as it's quite old, if sentiment has changed and this package can be approved, I'd be interested in packaging and maintaining it.
