I "backported" it from quantal, and it is building well

All of the gnome-games packages are available in Raring as separate source packages except the gnome-games metapackage itself.

Perhaps meta-gnome3 could provide that metapckage.

All what I need is to play freecell, and I had it until quantal... on monday I'll look at the package that contains it and I'll build it myself, anyway games are pretty important, for the mainstream, so I think we have to fix this!

Just install aisleriot.

Every one of the gnome-games available in Ubuntu 12.10 is still available in 13.04. It's just that there isn't a convenient metapackage any more.

I already saw this and installed aisleriot, but I cannot find any freecell game!

aisleriot includes 50 card games including freecell but there is no longer a separate launcher for freecell. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/681645 for more info.

Thanks, I got the point.
This is a big usability problem then!
People are not aware of the many different playing games in one...
Anyway I found my freecell,and I'll create a custom desktop file for myself :-) thanks a lot

Sorry the upstream bug claims you cannot play aisleriot and freecell togheter, I just tried
locutus@Unimatrix01-Raring:~ $ sol &
[1] 27572
locutus@Unimatrix01-Raring:~ $ sol --freecell

and I can play klondike and freecell toghether, so please reconsider readding the desktop file inside.

I can provide the patch if needed.

Locutus, you're going to need a file a separate bug against aisleriot for that issue if you want developers to be able to see it.
