Bug#369670: change bug title (not amd64 specific)
retitle 369670 lockup when music enabled (no timidity; /dev/sequencer exists) thanks Hi Edward, thanks for your analysis. This bug is definitely not AMD64 specific, as I can reproduce it on two i386 machines. When you have timidity installed, libsdl-mixer doesn't attempt to use the hardware synth, which is why you don't get the crash anymore. The author of chocolate-doom can reproduce a crash similar to this with his port, so I think it's a libsdl-mixer issue (and will merge this into the bug reported there already). The fact it sounds horrible is most likely the low quality of freepats; if so, please report a bug there. But, if you extract the midi from your IWAD using deutex and play that using another player that uses timidity, and it sounds different to prboom's rendition, please file another bug here. -- Jon Dowland ___ Pkg-games-devel mailing list Pkg-games-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-devel

Except for that I guess those packages are fit for sid! Hi: I've not been keeping up-to-date on the quake3 developments, but I've been involved in discussions on data-like packages such as this and best practises for how they work. I think that the installation hooks {pre,post}{inst,rm} are not the right place to do any kind of sophisticated unpacking of external data, calling out to FTP sites etc.: I think the java-package model is the only clean way to go, and modelled doom-package on that. Have you seen how doom-package works? I can try and knock out a proof-of-concept implementation for quake3 too. I see. So I guess ioquake3 should be among the lines of Depends: quake3-data|openarena-data? I'd suggest a virtual package which described the quake3 games files, such as quake3-pak or somesuch, which was Provides:-ed by openarena-data and quake3-data (or the resulting .deb from running something like doom-package, if you see what I mean). -- Jon Dowland ___ Pkg-games-devel mailing list Pkg-games-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-devel
Bug#447012: new upstream release pending
Hello, Thanks for your report. I've had a 2.4.7 package ready for a while, but I have trouble getting sponsored uploads. It should be done soon. If there is enough demand, we could package prboom-plus separately. However by it's nature I'm not sure how suitable it would be for a stable release of Debian. A lot of the features mature in the + branch and then migrate across to prboom properly once they've settled down. The prboom developers update the strings for the version to the ones used for the next stable release when they cut a release (so, SVN will have 2.4.8 coded in places now that they've release 2.4.7). So the latest prboom-plus releases will be based on a revision in trunk since 2.4.7. Prboom is itself still being developed (or there wouldn't be a new upstream version to upgrade to! ;) ) -- Jon Dowland ___ Pkg-games-devel mailing list Pkg-games-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-devel

Bug#439255: bug 439255: pangzero: Raises brightness to maximum
launching pangzero causes the brightness of the screen of my laptop to be raised to maximum. This happens also when closing pangzero. This happens to me with prboom. Both are using SDL, so perhaps it's an SDL issue, or maybe a video driver issue. What laptop / video chipset did you use, and what video driver version? In my case it's a thinkpad x40 / intel i810 video chipset using the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel driver in sid at the time of writing (2:2.2.0-1) This report in Ubuntu's issue-tracker seems to suggest a video driver issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/139954/+viewstatus Possible workarounds/some questions: * is ibm-acpi loaded?
