Subject: RFP: mupen64 -- Emulator of the Nintendo64 game console

Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2005 21:39:29 +0200

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : mupen64
  Version         : 0.5
  Upstream Author : Hacktarux <hacktarux@yahoo.fr>
* URL             : http://mupen64.emulation64.com
* License         : GPL
  Description     : Emulator of the Nintendo64 game console

mupen64 is a powerful, advanced emulator of the Nintendo 64
game console. It would need to go to contrib, as I'm not
aware of DFSG free N64 roms.

Subject: murky licensings

Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 18:41:16 -0500

The licensing situation for mupen64, especially the included plugins, looks 
pretty murky. However, I'll take a look at it and contact the authors as 
needed. I'll set this to ITP after I finish my first run through the headers 
for (C) information.

Subject: unstable?

Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2005 21:17:49 -0500

Mupen64 seems to be extremely unstable under GNU/Linux, at least with the 
included plugins -- and that's coming from someone who uses PCSX regularly. I 
couldn't even get the demos to work properly without it segfaulting. What 
plugins are you using, Moritz?

I've got Mupen64 working now (after much tinkering) and I should be able to 
package it along with a fairly stable set of plugins.

Subject: WNPP bug closing

Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 11:59:35 -0700

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

reopen 325448
thanks bts

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
325448@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.

I am, but I was unable to find a sponsor for an initial upload; I've kept the 
packages in at least working condition in my personal repository[1], though 
they would certainly require reworking before they could be uploaded now.

Ryan, we've been using your packages for a while now, but realize
upstream has been dead for some years.  Today my son pointed
out that there is this new project, reviving development again:

http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/

Thought you might be interested in checking it out.  The LICENSE
file says this is GPL'd, though I haven't done a thorough review
of it yet.

I have seen it and have been preparing to check the license situation myself. 
That said, it's quite a bit nicer to use. I'll look into it and close this 
RTP if it's alright -- no reason to package this version over it.

Thanks for the note :- )

Hi folks,

whats the status for mupen64plus now ? I have just checked and
compiliation and installation on Lenny works like a charm, only a few
build-dependencies like libsdl-dev and a few other libs.

Shouldn't be a problem to package, have you ruled out the licencing
issue ?

Subject: This bug should be closed because it could cause duplicated work

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

there is already a packaging request for Mupe64Plus in the Debian bug
tracker (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513322) and
packaging work seems to be going on.

Therefore it is maybe better to close this one or mark it as a duplicate
to avoid having two groups working on the bug independently.

Regards
Martin
