Guideline Question
by Christopher Stone 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

There is a package up for review, glob2, found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225010 The packager is putting the data files into a sub packge because of this guideline in the Fedora Games SIG page: "Package game files and data files separately, if possible, to reduce size of bugfix updates. This must be done if upstream packages game data in separate tarballs, and should be done even if upstream uses one tarball for game source and data. See Nazghul and tong for examples." This does not make sense to me. Shouldn't the data package be in an entirely different spec file instead of just a subpackage of the main spec file? If you are going to make a bug fix to the app, and do a rebuild, the data package is also going to be upgraded at the same time because they are both in the same spec file and get the same release number. Please clarify. Regards, Chris

Lost Labyrinth

I just saw a nice looking roguelike GPL game, "Lost Labyrinth": http://www.lostlabyrinth.com/ I added it to the proposals list on the wiki (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Games) to be visible if someone want to package it. -- nicu Cool Fedora wallpapers: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/ Open Clip Art Library: http://www.openclipart.org my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro

OpenArena/ioquake3
by Steven Pritchard 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

Is anyone working on OpenArena (http://openarena.ws/) or ioquake3 (http://ioquake3.org/)? FreshRPMS has a package for ioquake3 at http://zod.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=391, and I haven't looked closely at it yet, but there's a package for ioquake3 at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/lnussel/quake3/src/ that might also be useful. There's a Mandriva package for OpenArena (search for it on rpmfind.net), but that's all I've been able to find so far. Steve -- Steven Pritchard - K&S Pritchard Enterprises, Inc.

Second Life client source released GPL!
by Callum Lerwick 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

Way sooner than I ever imagined, the Second Life client has been released under GPLv2 license. Though it has the usual "still needs some proprietary third party libs" strings attached. Namely fmod. I'm working on building it right now. See: http://secondlife.com

Gnometris
by Nicu Buculei 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

There is a talk on GNOME Games about Fedora not including Gnometris for some undisclosed legal issues: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/games-list/2006-December/msg00043.html There are two specific questions: - what are the specific copyright/trademark problems? - what can be done so Fedora is able to include the game (or at least another Tetris clone)? -- nicu Cool Fedora wallpapers: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/ Open Clip Art Library: http://www.openclipart.org my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro
