Hi testers and gamesers!
The latest version (1.3.1) of Red Eclipse has been brewing in testing
for quite a while now (and upstream is already planning for a soonish
1.4), and I was wondering if there would be anyone interesting in poking
it a bit and see if it can get pushed into updates.
I'm copy-pasting an older post with testing hints below, these should
still apply to this new version.

There are some basic testing hints at:

I'm not sure what the process is with a new package, and if using a
clean system is a necessity... I'm not at all very familiar with the
Fedora process, as it were.
If I would do a rough checklist myself:
1. Test installing and uninstalling of all packages:
$ yum install redeclipse redeclipse-server redeclipse-data cube2font
$ yum remove redeclipse redeclipse-server redeclipse-data cube2font
2. Check if the game client runs, can play offline, and play on the main
online server:
$ redeclipse
$ redeclipse -x"dm bath"
$ redeclipse -x"connect play.redeclipse.net"
3. Test if the game server runs and is accessible via the master
server:
- Mind that a server connected to the master (for a longer time)
should follow some guidelines, and will be community-moderated, c.f.
http://redeclipse.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/redeclipse/guidelines.txt
- Default ports for RE are 28801-28802
$ redeclipse-server -x"sv_serverdesc $USER testserver"
$ redeclipse -x"showgui servers"
- Try to connect to your own server via the master server list
4. Check that server config examples docs, and manpages exist:
$ ls /usr/share/doc/redeclipse/examples/
$ man redeclipse
$ man redeclipse-server
$ man cube2font
5. Check that cube2font can make a font:
$ cube2font /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf default 3 19 1 1
49 49 512 512 32 64 packages/fonts
6. Check that redeclipse has a correctly scaled icon, and a desktop
entry, as would be expected in your desktop manager.
7... Anything else you can think of that I missed ;)
