I don't think the package is ready yet. But in case someone else
disagrees please go ahead with the upload.

debian/copyright is still incomplete. It is missing at least

src/libraries/luasocket/libluasocket
src/libraries/lz4/lz4.c
src/libraries/stb
src/libraries/luautf8/lutf8lib.h
src/libraries/glad/gladfuncs.hpp
src/libraries/ddsparse/ddsparse.h
src/libraries/Wuff/wuff_internal.h
platform/unix/install-sh
src/libraries/noise1234/noise1234.cpp
src/platform/unix (GPL-2, GPL3, Expat)

For mrrescue:

Missing upstream tag, missing pristine-tar commit, Standards-Version is
3.9.8.

Ok, I will take a look at it. Please push all tags and the pristine-tar
commits for mrrescue though.

No, I've already added a "Breaks: mrrescue (<< 1.02e)" stanza.

A new mrrescue upload is also pending (also need a sponsor):
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/mrrescue.git/

By the way what happened with the demos and documentation of love? They
were once provided in separate tarballs but are apparently missing now.

Will love 0.10.2 work with mrrescue?

Hi,

I have pushed some minor changes to the Git repository but
debian/copyright is the major blocker and severely outdated. Several
licenses and copyright holders are missing. For instance see
src/libraries, Lintian will give you more hints. The package also cannot
be built twice in a row because the clean target is incomplete but that
could be fixed later. It is also rather suboptimal that love embeds so
many libraries like box2d or enet which are available in Debian. This
should be documented [1] and improved but it is not critical for Stretch.

If you can fix d/copyright today, we can still get 0.10.2 into Stretch
(provided that there are no other show-stoppers) but it would be too
late tomorrow.

Regards,

Markus

I've pushed the upstream branch.
I didn't used pristine-tar, as it wasn't used previously.

I've got the vague feeling the "dh_buildinfo" is something
in statis not usefull anymore in regards to Reproducible Builds;
but for now I left it there.

Thanks a lot,

Hi Alexandre,

I guess the preivous documentation was spidered with wget or something;
but there isn't even custom a rule in debian/rules to re-do this step.

I think people are more interested in an up-to-date love engine at the
moment, so I wouldn't worry too much about the documentation. I would
either package the -docs standalone or use the multi-tarball feature of
dpkg. If you repack the zip file as tar.xz you will probably save some
bytes too.

The documentation download contains the entire wiki, this includes
documentation on older versions, informations about various (user-made)
games and libraries, tutorials, etc. Unfortunately I don't think we have
a download that contains just the current information, nor the ability
to build one automatically. In my opinion it's perfectly reasonable to
split the documentation off, or even to drop it altogether, but I know
very little about debian packaging policy.

If you're looking for a longer-term solution, I could look into having a
more focused documentation download, but that will probably take (quite)
some time.

Hi,

I've given up importing the SVN history and used gbp import-dsc instead.

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/love.git/

I've fixed some obvious things, but I now stumble on this:

1,4M love_0.9.1.orig.tar.gz
114M ../Downloads/docs.zip (from https://love2d.org/wiki/Main_Page)

-> the documentation has outgrown the core engine so much,
that I guess it should deserve it's own independant source package
& that love-doc should be dropped from src:love.

But this means that there wouldn't be a love-doc in Stretch,
because this low priority package would have to go through the new queue.

It turns out more complicated than expected.
I always end up with an empty repository;
I'll give it a try again.

I don't see an issue if the package in question has only one r-dep which
is also controlled by us.

Hi,

I'm willing to maintain this package as a depedency of mrrescue.

The one thing I don't want is to learn svn again after so many years;
so first step would be to move it to git. (while preserving history of course)

The upstream changelog for mrrescue is also minimal:
https://github.com/SimonLarsen/mrrescue/compare/v1.02c...master

When I'm done I'll just need a sponsor.

PS: isn't it a bit playing against the "Transition freeze" rules ?

Current mrrescue does mostly work with newer Löve;
changelogs merely says "Fixed pixel font spacing";
but I couldn't find this glitch myself.

Alexandre

Hello Bart,

thank you for contacting us. To be honest the true reason why nobody is
packaging a new upstream release of love is that we are understaffed.
There are people in this team that will help with reviewing and
uploading the package but someone else must get involved who wants to
maintain love for the foreseeable future.

Regards,

Markus

Dear Maintainers,

Since the last message in this bug, LÖVE version 0.10.2 was released,
yet the version in the repositories is still stuck at 0.9.1.

I noticed tracker.debian.org lists this package as depending on a
package that needs a new maintainer --- DevIL --- so this might be what is
holding you back. Fortunately, in version 0.10.0, the dependency on
DevIL was dropped.

I would also like to note that ever since the release of 0.9.1, every
release is accompanied by a post on an RSS feed, located at [1]. Maybe
this could prove useful for automatic release tracking in the future?

Sincerely,

Bart van Strien

Bug#815170: love: New upstream version available

[Alexandre Detiste]

Dear Maintainer,

Can you please update the "love" package as prerequisite
to also update the "mrrescue" game that does use this engine ?

(current mrrescue only has a minor graphical glitch when run with
a newer love engine, so a transition is not needed).

Can you also consider moving the packaging to git ?

Then, also, if you're interrested into making this package reproducible,
you may re-use the recipes used to package mrrescue:

( /usr/share/doc/love/demos/*.love - those are zipfiles)
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/love.html

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/mrrescue.git/tree/debian/rules

I can also provide a patch or commit with git if you prefer.


Greets,

Alexandre
