Cross-distro games packaging mailing list
by Hans de Goede
Hi all,
if you are a games packager or have a general interest in FLOSS
games, let me point you to games(a)lists.freedesktop.org
The Debian and Ubuntu games teams have merged completely
and I've been working together with them to reduce duplicated work.
We have been using the Debian games mailing list until now, but we decided that
a distro-agnostic would be better.
As Games are somewhat special in that they in general need more patches then
usual packages and that they often have a dead upstream, we plan to discuss
some ways there to try and collaborate more on the front of games.
So to everyone interested, please subscribe!
Regards,
Hans

There was a recent ( October ) thread on the DSPAM users list
questioning if DSPAM is alive, as well as a thread a year ago. The
project really needs developers since Sensory Networks is not
spending any time on it. I know there are a couple of users that
have .spec files to roll their own RPMs, not sure if that would help
you. One used Gentoo patches, which cause some debate.
I'm still using 3.6.8 since I have no issues with the way I
configured DSPAM, using SQLite not MySQL.

spins maintainers, content please
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there,
There is still the spins release announcement missing. In order to
solve, together with PaulFrields, RexDieter and I setup this page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Spins/10
to describe basic things about the spins, thus reminding people about
the existence of such spins. This announcement should be done by
spin-SIG. Can anyone do it please ? If the wikipage's location isn't
correct, please rectify and post the new urls.
Spin maintainers please update your content, especially those working
behind the developer spin.
Kind regards,
Chitlesh

I can install both flash-plugin and gnash-plugin and get them to
appear in about:plugins with no problems. It seems to me that both
somehow interact poorly with the Savage driver, because either works
on other machines that have other graphics hardware/driver, that's
all. Playing video with mplayer works on the Savage-equipped laptop,
so the problem is not triggered by video outside the browser. I'll try
a couple of things still and then submit a bug report if I can't get
it to work.

Flash trouble on F10 / VESA
by Mikko Huhtala
I've an up-to-date F10 installation on an old laptop with a very poor
graphics card. lspci says
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]
Xorg uses the Savage driver with DRI. I've configured X to run at 16
bit color depth, otherwise a lot of things, especially playing video,
become painfully slow.
For some reason Flash refuses to work at all. I've tried both Adobe's
flash-plugin package and gnash (all 32 bit). Flash elements appear as
blank boxes on web pages in Firefox and X uses 100% of CPU trying to
do something, but the Flash animation/video never appears. Both
flash-plugin and gnash do work on another machine that has Nvidia
drivers and the same versions of all the other relevant packages. Is
this a know problem?
Packages:
kernel-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.3-5.fc10.i386
xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.2.0-2.fc9.i386
firefox-3.0.4-1.fc10.i386
flash-plugin-10.0.12.36-release.i386

Games SIG looking for new contributers
by Hans de Goede
Hi all,
Once up on a time I (and quite a few others) started out as Fedora contributor
working mostly on games. Now I (and most others) have moved on contributing to
other (more "serious") areas of Fedora. But there is still plenty to do on the
Games front:
* The Games Spin which is looking for a maintainer,
* A growing list of games waiting to be packaged:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games/WishList
* Some game packages which could use some love, for example from some
games the sound effects were removed because they are non free, there are
plenty of free replacement sounds out there, but we need someone to go and
search for a set of them matching the requirements for the game (blobwars,
blobAndConquer and others)
I'm hereby offering help to anyone who wants to start contributing to the Games
SIG (new or exising contributers), this help includes reviewing new packages,
sponsoring, etc.
Regards,
Hans

Cambridge Launched to Explore Solar System (Fedora 10)
by Jesse Keating
DATELINE: 2008-11-25
KEY FINGERPRINT: 61A8 ABE0 91FF 9FBB F4B0 7709 BF22 6FCC 4EBF C273
LOCATION: GEOSYNC ORBIT, FEDORA SPACE STATION VIA GLOBAL IRC NETWORK
BROADCASTING: FREEDOM FRIENDS FEATURES FIRST
(Cue J. Strauss' "Blue Danube.")
THIS IS FEDORA SPACE OPERATIONS ANNOUNCING with great pleasure the
successful launch of the new ship, Fedora 10: "Cambridge."
Strapped into the pilot seats are the latest GNOME (2.24) and KDE (4.1),
accompanied on their amazing journey by an all star crew of glitch free
audio, better printing and webcam support, and a new faster graphical
startup.
Also on this ride are wireless connection sharing and the next evolution
in PackageKit, hooking through your multimedia applications to help
install supporting software (codecs).
For developers and system administrators on this mission, we have built
in appliance tools, Eclipse 3.4, NetBeans IDE, improved virtualization
management with remote installation and storage capabilities, RPM 4.6,
and new security auditing toolsets.
Please remember to polarize viewports to properly enjoy Cambridge's
brand new graphics theme, "Solar," shining on the desktop. Also on this
flight is a new lightweight desktop environment, LXDE, joining the more
recent desktop envionment crew member, Sugar (from the starship OLPC
XO), and the venerable GNOME, KDE, and XFCE.
We are now leaving drydock for a 13-month mission of innovation and
exploration. Crew members and guests are invited to the forward lounge
to use, study, modify, and redistribute.
Get your copy of Fedora 10 today:

Software without tarballs (SVN or CVS only)
by Trever L. Adams
Is it acceptable to package (officially) projects that do not release
tarballs, but can be downloaded via SVN or CVS and tarballed from there?
I have two packages in mind, one of which I have packaged, but not
tested, the other I used a few years ago and would like to package.
These are PyKota and DSPAM. DSPAM may eventually release a tarball, but
currently has not done so since the project being sold. Both are FOSS
according to Fedora guidelines.
If these are acceptable, once I have tested them a bit, would anyone
mind sponsoring me and helping me get started?
I had mentioned bedework before (bedework.org). Currently, I do not know
enough about java building to make a package work. Also, the tarball
situation would be similar due to them also shipping the binaries and
several Fedora included packages in the tarball.
Thank you,
Trever Adams
