I do not think Debian ships 2.0.x

I still find 2.1 too buggy for mass distribution. But then, I am a
perfectionist. Fedora ships with beta3, and it seems to work for most
people most of the time.

 To all devs (with or without commit access): I would really like this to
 be an active decision on our part, as opposed to a passive one,
 where we allow the decision to be made for us due to time passing. I.e.
 either we decide that we do want our current state of 2.1 to be included
 in Debian's next stable release, or we decide that we don't want that to
 happen. As long as that decision is an active one, I can live with both.

 The only negative impact of this on us I can see is the support/FAQ
 issue mentioned above by Paul.
The question is just whether we wont a not-yet-finished version to appear in 
Debian? I wont mind.
This is under the assumption that 2.1.0 and following version will be 
automatically included...

I think another quick beta would be a good route if 2.1 is currently stable 
enough and runs well on Debian, otherwise there really isn't a good reason to 
include it in a stable release (and, yes, I know I'm stating the obvious ;)

If there are still some rough edges in Debian 2.1, sticking 2.0.10 in lenny and 
relegating 2.1 to backports.org might be the better course of action.

I think that is the problem. If 2.1 is included in stable now, it will
stay at the version included at freeze time, whatever that will be (if I
remember the policy correctly). There is debian-volatile for
fast-changing packages, though the descriptions only talks about things
like virus scanners or spam filters, I don't know if games are accepted
there, and I don't know how many people know about it (possibly even
less than backports).

So is whatever will be available at freeze time suitable to be included
in a stable distribution for over a year?

 in Debian's next stable release, or we decide that we don't want that to
 happen. As long as that decision is an active one, I can live with both.

Well, if it can be updated (which I doubt, but I could be wrong), then
I'm ok with including it, but if it cannot, then backports sounds like
the better plan to me.

Yes. The question is not 2.0.10 or 2.1.beta4 but 2.1.beta4 or no
Warzone in Debian stable.

I assumed just the 2.1 part would be fixed, but 2.1.x bugfix releases would 
still go into future releases of Lenny and onto the update-servers?

  in Debian's next stable release, or we decide that we don't want that to

Agreed.

AFAIK the package can *not* receive any updates once it enters stable.
Apart from security fixes that is. But I'm pretty sure that, warzone
being a game and all, isn't eligible for security updates.

@Paul: can you confirm or deny this?

[Warzone-dev] [patch #1088] Various Netcode Improvements

2008-07-24 Thread Freddie Witherden

URL:
  http://gna.org/patch/?1088

 Summary: Various Netcode Improvements
 Project: Warzone Resurrection Project
Submitted by: evilguru
Submitted on: Thursday 24/07/08 at 16:46
Category: Fix
Priority: 7 - High
  Status: Ready For Test
 Privacy: Public
 Assigned to: None
Originator Email: 
 Open/Closed: Open
 Discussion Lock: Any
 Planned Release: None

___

Details:

Here are a couple of netcode improvements I have been working on.

The first one sends the droids position and body points along with an order
-- this should fix some of the out of sync problems in trunk and beta4.

The second one updates the sync code so that it is purely limited by
bandwidth (as opposed to a frequency counter x timers per second).

Both, however need extensive testing.
