Making sure all games are in comps
by Hans de Goede
Hi All,
To make sure all games we've worked so hard to package are in comps and thus
easy to find by the end user, I've written a small script which checks if every
package which has an rpm-group of Amusements/Games is in comps, I've attached
the resultiing script.
I've put a blacklist in the script to avoid what I believe are false positives.
Mainly things like level editors and servers, which do not belong in the comps
games group IMHO, maybe we need a game-utilities group?
Anyways FYI here is the current blacklist:
*-editor)
;;
*-server)
;;
*-selinux)
;;
*-logwatch)
;;
fgfs-Atlas|xblast-x11|kanatest|rott-registered|fortune-firefly)
;;
cowsay|ifm|shippy-allegro|wesnoth-tools|armacycles-ad-dedicated)
;;
frotz|tetrinetx)
;;
This excercise has resulted in me adding the following 2 comps:
raidem-music
asylum
angrydd
manaworld-music
quarry
uqm-content-voice
uqm-content-3domusic
torcs-data-tracks-dirt
torcs-data-tracks-oval
torcs-data-cars-nascar
freedoom-freedm
MegaMek
gnome-games-extra-data
atanks
sirius
pychess
glob2
And now I'm left with the following list of which I'm not sure what todo, input
much appreciated:
poker2d-kde (can't this be merged into the main package?)
torcs-robots
Regards,
Hans

boswars eating up the cpu
by Ric Moore
Has anyone else seen boswars go critical mass and hit 97% according to
top? It's only happened when I play the campaign and get to level 4 or
so, that it's starts slowing down, then hits the upper limit. Great
game, I really like it. Ric

Games Spin Update?
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
One of the advantages of custom spins are that they can release
asynchronously as per
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/CustomSpins. There is a lot
of interest in the games spin and it has maximum number of downloads
among the Fedora 8 custom spins.
http://spins.fedoraproject.org:6969/
I am interested in doing a mid release games spin update if there are
enough additional games or interesting updates to existing games. It
also has the additional advantage of fixing bugs or providing new
features in other software included in the spin. Are there compelling
reasons to provided a updated spin now? Would that be better as a CD
image variant?

Guidelines for packaging java programs?
by Bruno Wolff III
Is there a good place to read up on how java programs (this is related to
trying to package Colossus) should be installed on Fedora? I am particularly
looking for guidelines on where to install the various peices. Other info
for someone that doesn't do java coding would be useful. The project provides
a build.xml file suitable for ant and that's what I was plannig to use
for the build process unless there is some reason I shouldn't.

Damn, I was totally kidding! :)
