Bug#495531: upstream website says they don't want it packaged
the upstream web site says: --- http://www.parallelrealities.co.uk/blobAndConquer.php License Source code is distributed under the GNU General Public License. Resources are Non Free. This game should not be added to Linux distributions or respositories. --- ok, but :-(. The Debian copyright file included with the 0.95 package version (that's in Ubuntu Intrepid, also about to release) says nothing about special dispensation to distribute it. BTW, upstream v1.0 is out. Someone should probably talk to upstream and ask if we can please distribute v1.0. It makes sense not to give people a bad impression of your game by having them see the unfinished and buggy stale version in a distro stable release, but once a game is finished, a lot more people will notice it in a distro. If it's upstream's choice to not have it packaged, maybe we can convince them otherwise. If it's because of license restrictions on their data sources, then never mind the rest of this mail. I originally found Blob Wars as a Debian package (before its final version), find bugs, and get my name in the credits for reporting them upstream. I also found blobandconquer by seeing it as a Debian or Ubuntu package, and probably wouldn't have gone to parallelrealities.co.uk to see it there. Once I did, I got the latest source and reported some bugs and minor patches I made to it. So if Stephen Sweeny can be swayed by a testimonial, there you go. I don't know how many people would just give up on a game instead of realizing that the packaged version if often stale, esp. if they're using a stable distro release, and getting the upstream source themselves. BTW, thanks for packaging such fun games, Guus. :) -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , des.ca) The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!

Bug#363448: tightvncserver: need to look in new places for fonts and rgb.txt with xorg 7.0
Package: tightvncserver
Version: 1.2.9-10
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
After upgrading to xorg 7.0 from unstable, Xvnc and tightvncserver
don't work because they can't find any fonts.
Here's a patch for tightvncserver. I didn't make the fallback font
path include all the fonts that xserver-xorg's configure script puts
in xorg.conf (which, on my system, looks like:
Section Files
FontPath/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc
FontPath/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic
FontPath/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled
FontPath/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled
FontPath/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1
FontPath/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi
FontPath/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi
# path to defoma fonts
FontPath/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType
EndSection
I also haven't patched Xvnc itself, only that wrapper script. I like
to use Xvnc on my home network with no password, which tightvncserver
doesn't support.
