Seems like they're going to provide source packages in a few days.

For the time being, did you manage to run Go Ollie? Tuxcap builds
fine for me on both i386 and amd64 (they seem to use pointer value
to get one pseudorandom bit, so it's nicely fixed with intptr_t
iterim cast, as I've guessed), but I was unable to run the game.

As I understand, pycap-based games can't be run with simple python
<filename> (as tuxcap doesn't install any python modules), so small
C++ program is needed, and there's no source for any in the archive.
Adapting pycap demos didn't work either. Any more luck on your side
or would it be wiser to not waste time and just wait for proper
source package?
