First of all, welcome to the Fedora Games mailinglist, and let me say that we would love to have Unknown Horizons in Fedora.
You mentioned a review request for UH that you closed, which I indeed found: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=718430
That review request points to this (recently fixed) FIFE bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757352
But AFAIK there is no new review request for UH, did I miss it?
I'm going to re-open it (the one you mentioned before) once we have all the dependencies prepared, let go a bit further:
- Tom (spot) has updated the dependencies required to update ENet
(libenet), which provides the base layer for multiplayer. With ENet updated, I can continue with my review request for 'python-enet' which provides the python bindings used by UH for Multiplayer.
- FIFE - The packaging of FIFE isn't really as I would like to be.
I'm gathering soon with FIFE upstream to propose a packaging model that upstream can support and hopefully to implement it on the next release in Fedora (and openSUSE);
Ok.
- Guichan - a dependency to build FIFE; This probably the only
blocker as we need to submit a patch which was previously submited to upstream, but no action was taken on it and upstream from guichan seems to be masturbating themselves with UTF-8 implementation over the last 2 years but no real release was made. I'm going to propose this patch to Fedora guichan, which I don't mind also to co-maintain. If guichan doesn't fix this, we're (UH upstream) prepared to fork guichan so we don't have to strugle with vendors who can distribute UH.
As long as the patch does not change the API (extending it is ok), then that should not be a problem.
http://gitorious.org/guichan/mainline/commit/90c8966f6cb153d6ab03e146d3ade33...
The patch was commited upstream, it's a simple 1 liner, but no release was issued after it... So when a release happens we can drop it; Now... I don't see why we can't add this patch.
Good News, we (Fedora) are have that patch in our packages :)
Regards,
Hans
