New maniadrive maintainer needed
by Bruno Wolff III 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Maniadrive has been orphaned for f25 going forward. It has no upstream support and has been broken by the switch from php 5 to php 7 in f25. (See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1368574) I tried to figure out how to adjust to the new php version, but was only able to find help with simple zval usage, but Maniadrive does some more complicated stuff that I couldn't figure out how to adapt. We could use a maintainer who is familiar with php to keep it in the distribution. Otherwise it will be getting retired pretty soon.

Curious to know what > you all think! So, I mentioned this on IRC a week or two ago, but I think quasiregular IRC meetings would be great in letting us identify stuff to work on at a level perhaps larger than "I think game X or library Y should be packaged in Fedora". To that end, how do we go about picking a meeting time? Ben Rosser

SDL_mng and bodhi
by Dennis Payne 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

I've uploaded my first package to bodhi, SDL_mng. I've set the karma threshold to 1 since I doubt there will be many testers. I determined I can't add karma which I understand. What should I do? Should I ask people to test the package (here or on another fedora list)? Are there sufficient testers who try random packages that I should just wait? For Fedora 25, should I submit an update to bodhi or do I not have to since it hasn't bee released yet? -- Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com Roon's Raccoon Sprintladder: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/126010

Reviving the Games SIG
by Justin W. Flory 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

Hello all! I know this mailing list has been mostly inactive for quite some time and a lot of the initial inertia for the tasks that this SIG was responsible have fallen by the wayside over the years. == Bringing back the SIG == Today, some extended discussion happened across #fedora-games / #fedora-join on IRC for how to bring back some life to this SIG. bkeys and I had discussed ideas about bringing information and tools in the open source gaming world into Fedora and communicate that with users. == Roll call == To help get things rolling here once again, I'd like to propose a "sound-off" or roll call of everyone in this mailing list who is still interested in contributing or participating to efforts to help this SIG begin to move again. This will help us get an idea of who is around, what your skill sets are, and how you would be able to contribute. == Resources == To help get any interested members onto the same page, there are some resources available to us now to help organize plans, thoughts, and communication. Obviously, this mailing list is a resource, but here are some more: * IRC: #fedora-games on irc.freenode.net * FAS: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/games-sig (apply after (re-)sending an introduction to the list) * Wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games It would be great to see some more people hang out in the IRC channel as well. Thanks everyone! Hoping to see where things go from here. :) My own introduction will be coming shortly... -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

by Sérgio Basto 18 Aug '16

18 Aug '16

Hi, tetrinetx was retire last week due use of initd scripts , I'm testing it in F23, and [1] , doesn't start because doesn't resolve ipv6 , tetrinetx depends on adns and adns is a very old gnu package [2] , source 1.4 is not updated since Dec 19 2007 , I checked [3] and we got version 1.5.1 released 5 days ago. For unretire tetrinetx , we need also add systemd unit to the package , maybe also we may move tetrinet from rpmfusion to Fedora proper. Anyone could help in maintain this package in Fedora ?

Self Introduction: Christopher Thielen
by Christopher Thielen 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Hi Fedora Games SIG, My name is Christopher Thielen. I'm a 30 year old programmer working for the University of California. I've been using Red Hat flavors of Linux since I got my hands on Red Hat Linux 7.0 circa 2000. I created a game called Epiar (http://epiar.net) back in 2001 or so which saw most of its activity between 2002 and 2006. I've been working on the codebase in my off hours and hope to package it up for Fedora after its next release (2017?). It's a clone of games similar to Escape Velocity, Wing Commander: Privateer, etc. I hope to get it finished up one day. Besides that, I've been lurking on this mailing list as I'm interested in seeing more open source games get packaged and thrive. I think there's a really honest, independent game development community in the open source world that I enjoy seeing. It's a terrific form of self-expression and fun. So, hello all, Christopher Thielen
