Wondering when the rpm will be released :)
Looping in the Fedora Games list.
It's built for rawhide and F-13. I'm thinking about building it for F-12, but I'm not sure yet. With Wesnoth, there's always the question of whether the user base values online play or their saved games more.
Opinions?
I think for F12 you might let it sit in testing for a month or so to let people switch when they want. This isn't perfect as some people may not know the update is there. I think it should eventually be in F12 as people playing multiplayer are going to want 1.8.
For F11 are you thinking that people should be told to update to F12 or F13 to get the new version? Right now it looks like F11 support will end in mid June.
I for one would be extremely miffed if any update in F12 would make my savegame non-functional.
If 1.8 breaks savegame compatibility, I really think it should not be pushed before F13.
I fail to see what would be achieved by letting it sit in testing - unless it's meant to test that it doesn't in fact break savegames?
Best, Kåre
This is exactly the 1.4>1.6 debate, practically verbatim, and why I'm leaning towards Bruno's proposal ( :) ). People who primarily play online are adamant that we update a stable release. People who primarily play solo are adamant that we do not update a stable release. I happen to primarily play solo, and I'm running a local build of 1.8, so that's no help. :)
Unless I hear a great deal of wailing and gnashing of teeth in the next few days, I'll probably proceed with Project Bruno.
I'd also like to hear from wtogami, the co-maintainer, but I've not heard from him since he changed jobs, though I have his new email.
