Re: MAME? AMD64 not official?

2005-09-29 Thread Mike
I know this is an old issue, but we look like debian, smell like debian but 
we are not?  Is there anything we can do to have the rights of a real debian 
distribution?  It seems to me that we are except someone, somewhere has to 
put his/her seal of approval.


Come on already, what system should people buy these days?  Intel and AMD 
both offer 64bits, and I know that AMD64 was not at a premium at all.  It's 
all they offered!


I think this AMD64 project has done a great job, and has earned the right to 
be official, and would like to help.

Regular xmame 0.100 is in the non-free section of sid for most

is unable to provide it at this time.  If you're running sid, it does
build out of the box without any problems from debian sources on amd64,
albeit it takes an hour or two to build on my lowly box.  It appears to
run fine without any problems, but I'm not really a gamer...


How lowly can any amd64 system be?

 If there are any packages currently known to be broken, I 
 would love to know about it.  Maybe I can fix a few (I have fixed a few 
 already when I found out about them, and the problem seemed simple).
Gnome-system-monitor is broken (in combination with a ia32 chroot /home 
directory as per FAQ for OpenOffice)and the i386 port has a new version in 
proposed-packages that should work.
