GGZ (GGZ Gaming Zone) is sort of like the MSN Gaming Zone, but open source and decentralized. See http://ggz.sourceforge.net for details. Packages are provided for playing games over GGZ, and for running servers, metaservers, and chatbots. In fact, there are 11 packages involved in GGZ, which build to a total of 19 binary packages.
I hate having to download and install 19 packages, but the original code comes in 11 source tarballs--and most people aren't going to want all 19 packages anyway--so I left the original organization pretty much alone (other than splitting off lib and devel for the binaries). libggz-0.0.6-2mdk.src.rpm: common libraries for clients and server libggz1-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm libggz1-devel-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm ggz-client-libs-0.0.6-2mdk.src.rpm: common libraries for clients only libggz-client2-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm libggz-client2-devel-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm ggz-txt-client-0.0.6-2mdk.src.rpm: text-mode client ggz-txt-client-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm ggz-kde-client-0.0.6-2mdk.src.rpm: KDE/Qt client ggz-kde-client-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm libggz-kde2-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm libggz-kde2-devel-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm ggz-kde-games-0.0.6-2mdk.src.rpm: GGZ-enabled KDE games ggz-kde-games-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm libggz-kde-games1-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm libggz-kde-games1-devel-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm ggz-gtk-client-0.0.6-2mdk.src.rpm: Gtk+ client ggz-gtk-client-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm ggz-gtk-games-0.0.6-2mdk.src.rpm: GGZ-enabled Gtk+/GNOME games ggz-gtk-games-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm libggz-kde-games1-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm libggz-kde-games1-devel-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm ggz-grubby-0.0.6-2mdk.src.rpm: grubby chatbot ggz-grubby-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm ggz-grubby-devel-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm ggz-server-0.0.6-2mdk.src.rpm: server ggz-server-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm libggz-server1-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm libggz-server1-devel-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm ggz-utils-0.0.6-2mdk.src.rpm: server utilities ggz-utils-0.0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm ggz-docs-0.0.6-2mdk.src.rpm: documentation ggz-docs-0.0.6-2mdk.noarch.rpm To play games on GGZ, you will need the common and client-libs packages and one of the client packages. You probably also want the games packages (unless you have other GGZ-enabled games you want to play). To run a Grubby chatbot, you need the common, client-libs, and grubby packages. To run a GGZ server, you need the common and server packages, and the utils package is helpful. To run a GGZ metaserver, you need the common and utils packages, and I believe that utils requires client-libs. Of course you only need the -devel packages to compile stuff. This is all categorized into Games/Other, because I didn't know where else to put it. And there are no menu entries, as I have no idea what most people would want. I think the internal BuildRequires and Requires settings are all correct; at any rate, if you go through in the order listed above, and build then install each one before going on to the next, everything works fine. And for installing binaries, just install them all at once.... I've tried a wide variety of stupid combinations, and they all seem to work or give the appropriate requirement errors, but I haven't tried everything. For external requirements, ggz-server requires that you have the db2-devel, db3-devel, or db4-devel, and I don't know how to check for this. And of course the binary will require db2, db3, or db4 (depending on which devel package was available where it was built). The SRPMs build for me on a mostly-clean 9.0 and a heavily-upgraded 9.1rc1, both x86. The binaries built on one box run on the other. The specfiles are loosely based on the 0.0.5 RedHat-ish specfile by Rich Gade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
