I've just been having a look back at the FreeCiv versions from RHL and Fedora core. It's not an exhaustive survey, but at least RHL 5.2, 6.2, 7.3, 8 and 9, and Fedora Cores 1, 2 and 3 contained FreeCiv packages, complete with various flags. As of FC4 the package seems to disappear from Core, probably in favour of the one in Extras, and the earlier versions of RHL seem to have bits missing from the copies on archive.download.redhat.com, so it's hard to tell whether they included FreeCiv or not. I think it's safe to say that if this unwritten rule ever existed, it certainly wasn't enforced. Ewan
