Package: pingus-data
Version: 0.6.0-8.2
Severity: important

Hello Raphael,

There is a circular dependency between pingus-data and pingus:

pingus-data:Depends: pingus
pingus:Depends: hermes1 (= 1.3.2-5), libc6 (= 2.3.5-1), libclan2c2-gui (= 
0.6.5-1), libclan2c2-jpeg (= 0.6.5-1), libclan2c2-mikmod (= 0.6.5-1), 
libclan2c2-png (= 0.6.5-1), libclan2c2-sound (= 0.6.5-1), libclan2c2-vorbis 
(= 0.6.5-1), libclanlib2c2 (= 0.6.5-1), libgcc1 (= 1:4.0.1), libstdc++6 (= 
4.0.1), libxml2 (= 2.6.21), zlib1g (= 1:1.2.1), pingus-data (= 0.6.0-8.2)

Circular dependencies known to cause problems during upgrade, so we should try
to get rid of them.

Since pingus-data is a data package, it is quite likely it does not need
actually to depend on pingus and removing this dependency would
remove the circular dependency, so I would suggest you do so.

Hi!

I'm running on pure amd64 sid here. The new version (fretsonfire
1.2.451.dfsg-2) works fine for me.

 I am seeing this on amd64 too. The error I get after upgrading
 python-opengl to the one in sid (making it more verbose, the same error
 happens on the etch version) is:
 
[...]
 Attached is the diff between -1 and -2; the only relevant differences
 are those in DummyAmanith.py, GameEngine.py and View.py, which are the
 patch to fix #437330. Without the patch it works fine on etch, but not
 with the version of python-opengl in sid. With this patch it appears to
 work on neither, at least on 64bit systems.

I don't quite understand. Are you saying that mixing Etch and Sid is a
problem? Tighter (versioned) depenencies would probably solve this if
someone figures out exactly which version of what broke the compability
in the first place. Anyway, mixing different versions of debian isn't
supported AFAIK so the bug should probably be considered fixed and
closed.
Can you please enlighten me if/what I've misinterpreted in what you
wrote?

OK, I've now made sure my system is up to date on sid, sorry for jumping
the gun; it works fine. Andreas - sorry fo doubting your fix!

Josh - are you sure you have an up-to-date system? I had problems with
running -2 on etch, but none on sid.

 When I'm playing hex-a-hop, the ondemand governor scales my cpu
 frequency all the way up to 1.2 GHz.

I fully agree that it is currently far away from being optimal.
Considering the game it should even run on a 20MHz CPU I guess ...

 I found an old patch for this at
 http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=8902page=1
 which I have cleaned up to work with this version. 

Ah, I hope there are no more patches flying around. This patch is
against a not yet GPLed game (from 2006) but considering the size it is
OK to apply it :-)

 This adds a 10 ms delay after each graphics update. This does not affect
 responsiveness any, and lets the game run only using 800 MHz here (quite
 close to the 600 MHz minimum CPU cpeed of my laptop). The only downside
 is that animations run marginally less smoothly.

It reduces the CPU usage from 75% to 50% on my Athlon(tm) XP 1700+.
The game is still very slow via remote X or in a valgrind session ...

 I wonder if the delay could be enabled as an option. A command-line option
 would be fine for me.

No, I do not like a command line option. It should be run well on much
older hardware. If we need to rewrite larger parts of the game to reach
this goal than we should do it (but not now, sorry) ...

I will now continue testing it on my SGI Octane workstation (big endian,
2 x R12000 CPUs, 270 MHz, o32 ABI :-). SDL doesn't like it but there is
still some hope ...

Jens
