Package: gemrb Version: 0.8.3-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
While playing around with gemrb, I found that I could not get the TTF font rendering plugin to work without encountering an immediate Segmentation fault during the font loading process. When attempting to report this bug upstream, I was told that this bug is likely due to the fact that Debian is packaging in the SDL2-GL video plugin for GemRB, which is considered a WIP and not ready for primetime, instead of packaging in the mature and stable SDL1.2 video plugin. I could not find the SDL1.2 plugin or a way to load it instead in the debian gemrb package. It's my belief that as of 0.8.3 the SDL2 code is not stable enough to be built in by default in the debian package, and that we should hold off on building it with SDL2 support, or at least restrict this to unstable/experimental. The thread where I talked to the upstream developers about this is linked below: http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=27867 Thanks for your attenion to this issue, Dylan J Morrison -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages gemrb depends on: ii gemrb-data 0.8.3-1 ii libc6 2.21-7 ii libgcc1 1:5.3.1-8 ii libgemrb 0.8.3-1 ii libstdc++6 5.3.1-8 ii python 2.7.11-1 Versions of packages gemrb recommends: ii game-data-packager 44 ii innoextract 1.5-1 pn lgogdownloader <none> gemrb suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
