Bug#207624: ITP: tetrinet -- client and server for tetrinet, a networked tetris version
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: tetrinet Version : 0.10 Upstream Author : Andrew Church [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://achurch.org/tetrinet/ * License : Public Domain Description : client and server for tetrinet, a networked tetris version Included in this package you will find tetrinet which is a ncurses client and tetrinet-server which is the server program. Together you can use them to play tetrinet with friends over the internet. The client requires 48 lines at least, but you get only one chat line during the game, then. The server doesn't seem to accept any special options or have a configuration file, just one room with specials enabled. Don't take this description too serious, it won't be the final one for the package, just a quick shot about what's going on (but still better than those single line long descriptions :-/ ). About the name of the package: Discussable, but I don't really know what to use else. The package is simply called tetrinet upstream. Please Cc me on replies (or keep the bug address in the list) so I don't miss any valueable informations, I scan debian-devel only through the archive. So long, Alfie -- Die Leude wolln dass was passiert, die Leude wolln dass Bass masiert, die Leude wolln das krass serviert: Die Leude wolln uns!-- 5 Sterne Deluxe, Die Leude

Bug#207624: ITP: tetrinet -- client and server for tetrinet, a networked tetris version
* Alex de Landgraaf [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2003-08-28 13:52]: Would like to note that tetrinetx and gtetrinet are already in Debian. Tetrinetx is the game server voor tetrinet, gtetrinet is the gtk tetrinet client. I'm fully aware of this. Maybe something like tetrinet-ncurses is in order? Considering it, yes. In any way, having two tetrinet servers would probably break something Would break what? Sorry, we have tons of other servers doubled, like apache and roxen; exim, postfix and sendmail; inetd and xinetd; xdm, wdm, gdm and kdm... What shall be different in this very case? Please be a little bit more verbose... (and is redundant), Like the above. Please don't say that if you haven't compared the posibilities of the different things, otherwise your statement is moo. I must confess that I haven't checked the real abilities of tetrinet-server in this package but from what I see currently is that it is very limited. On the other hand, it is included in the upstream source so it would maybe distract the upstream author if he see that it is not included in the binary package. so at least take a look at tetrinetx and contact its maintainer to sync things... Can you sync postfix with exim, please? Sorry, this sounds strange... It is not a spin off of tetrinetx, that's the way things work in the open source/free software community. Different people try their own approach. Only time will tell which will stay and which will pass away. I for myself don't like to judge these things and say: let's kill this off, it looks moo. Hell, you made me defend that little 16k piece of crap, well done :-) So long, Alfie -- schneckal hat einer von euch schon bind9 installiert? _eis das neue root kit? :- -- #debian.de pgpCLgLvlct6u.pgp Description: PGP signature

The package is simply called tetrinet upstream. Why not split into tetrinet-server and tetrinet-client? The server binary has only 16k compared to 61k client binary, and I dislike the idea of the overhead for this small packages. Beside that, I don't think that I will provide an init.d script for it neither, doesn't make much sense IMNSHO. I talked with fabbione a little bit about it, maybe I will leave out the tetrinet-server binary completely, it doesn't offer anything fancy anyway so people who like to have their own server running should rather use tetrinetx. If I leave it out I might consider naming the package tetrinet-client as a whole (for the binary -- I guess I'll stick with tetrinet for the source package). I am wait for a reaction from upstream too currently. I will consider his ideas on the topic, too. So long, and thanks for the input.

Quoting Gerfried Fuchs [EMAIL PROTECTED]: snip Hell, you made me defend that little 16k piece of crap, well done :-) Wow, sorry for getting you all on the defensive :) Just wanted to state that if the server in your package and tetrinetx were the same thing (same source, same author) then it would be redundant. If they aren't the same thing, then by all means package server and client. If we end up with 20 tetrinetservers, then I'll start whining about those 16k, just didn't realise that there actually were different FLOSS tetrinet servers :) /'-'\ ( o o ) oOO0--(_)--0OOo Wouter Alexander de Landgraaf Student AI CS VU Amsterdam Phone: 06-16844084 GPG: http://am.xs4all.nl/key_alex.asc WWW: www.alextreme.org www.morphix.org .oooO ( ) Oooo. --\ (( )-- \_)) / (_/
