CC'ing bugzilla requests and owners.list to this list
by Hugo Cisneiros 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

Hi all, Since we are (IMO) a integrated group, I had an idea to better communicate our packaging proccess. What if we add the fedora-games-list(a)redhat.com to the CC on our bugzilla review requests and the owners.list (as co-maintainer)? With this we can "ask automatically" if someone here can review the package, or help. I think perl extras sig works in this way too... But can this be the focus on this list? (I think yes). Then, before doing, let's get some opinions :-) -- []'s Eitch http://www.devin.com.br/eitch/ "Talk is cheap. Show me the code." - Linus Torvalds

Fwd: Re: Suggested Game for Fedora Gaming
by Hugo Cisneiros 06 Jul '06

Hey guys, just forwarding a suggestion I got on my email ;-) che did try this game yesterday and got some easy-to-fix compilation issues (extra qualification on c++ code that is incompatible with gcc 4.1+). ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: Suggested Game for Fedora Gaming Date: Wednesday 05 July 2006 22:57 From: Jason Apfelbeck <japfelbeck(a)sympatico.ca> To: Hugo Cisneiros <hugo(a)devin.com.br> Great, thanks, that is what I was hoping for. Seems like a good game but last time I tried it it still needed some work in multiplayer as well as AI.

packaging a lib which needs to be compiled in different ways for different users
by Hans de Goede 05 Jul '06

05 Jul '06

Hi all, I and Eitch are currently looking into packaging ode (a physics library). Ode uses OPCODE which is a 3D collision detection library. Opcode is included in ode's sources but is used by many opensource projects to name 2: -crystal space -ode Opcode can be compiled to use either callbacks to get the next object from a list of objects that need to be checked for collisions _OR_ to use an array of pointers to these objects. however it cannot be compiled to support both! And it has more compile time options like these which are likely to be used in a mix and match style by other projects. Also all projects using opcode seem to have made their own additions to it, now these extra overloaded operators and methods could be merged into the mainline, but thats going to be a pain, because then each time a new package using opcode is going to get packaged any functionality added to opcode by this application much first be merged into our seperate opcode package. And even with that done we still have the compile time options. Notice that I gave one example, but that there are atleast 2 options which lead to incompatible libs, so thats 4 versions of the lib. and that is only after checking the 3 options modifed from the default settings by ode and crystalspace, so thats 2 out of 3 :| All in all this leads me to the conclusion that its best to make an exception to the rule: "libraries with a seperate upstream yet included in the sourcetarbal must not be used" in the case of opcode. Does not following this rule sound reasonable / any objections? Thanks and Regards, Hans p.s. I know we have this rule, atleast I think we have this rule and we should have this rule, but is it written down somewhere?
