I was hoping to be able to work on a forked version of chess and have it replace chess in Fedora, but I haven't had time to learn enough about ogre to do this, and chess is broken enough now that there is no point in including it any more. So I am looking at retiring it in f16+.
The current status is that upstream is dead, but OK with a fork. The meshes use an old enough format that they don't appear to work any more with recent ogres. (Previously there had been warnings about obsolete formats.) The api for ogre has changed enough that chess crashes pretty much for everyone even though it builds.
I'd still like to see the ogrechess fork get done someday, but given how broken chess is currently, I don't think it is a good idea to keep it in the repository any more.
Unless someone speaks up, with some plan to make the current version work in the near future, I'll start the retirement process in about a week.

Chess has now been retired (pending processing by releng of the block ticket).
Hold on Bruno, I'm just a li'l busy now. Shall certainly get back when the long pending work is over. So please don't start the retirement process.
