Cool - thanks for your help with this. I think this is the same problem 
as has been reported against libsdl-mixer1.2; 
http://bugs.debian.org/298982: can you try the following workaround?

# mkdir /etc/timidity
# touch /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg
$ prboom

Also, what sound hardware do you have?

Thank you,

Ok I generated alternatives; the packages for sponsoring are at 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/prboom/. Moritz mailed to 
say he'd do it, but in case someone else beats him to it...

Also attached to this mail is the final script used to generate the 
replacement lumps (small alteration). The palette issue I alluded to 
earlier was solved by ensuring the base image had the right palette and 
not switching between formats.

Bug#369670: change bug title (not amd64 specific)

2007-01-13 Thread Jon Dowland
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.

 Only bug I found is in the quake3-data pkg: When you
 choose to install the point release and the mirror doesn't
 have that file (ftp.idsoftware.com seems to be missing
 it), it breaks the install as it doesn't let you choose a
 different mirror. dpkg then flakes out and leaves the
 packages unconfigured. 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).

Bug#447012: new upstream release pending

2007-10-27 Thread Jon Dowland
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! ;) )

Bug#439255: bug 439255: pangzero: Raises brightness to maximum

2008-01-23 Thread Jon Dowland
 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? (see http://bugs.debian.org/452894)

I made the above substitution when I realised that, with
current trunk and upstream, that glob matched all of the
files in the more explicit bash version, and nothing else. I
am not familiar enough with the package to know whether this
might not work for other upstream versions. If so, an
explicit list of files to remove may be necessary.
