I'm very interested in seeing glest in Debian.  How's the packaging
going? Any news?

Some packaging details needed to be sorted out with upstream. If you
want to help with the actual packaging in SVN you're more than welcome
to join the Debian Games Group, see
http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Development for details.

Subject: Glest ITP and one more proposal

Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 00:36:50 +0300

Hello Mortiz,

Glest has just been added to the Games/Suggested wiki page, and I saw
your ITP. What is the current status of the work on this game. This
game look awsome and is the kind of games that deserves to be in
Debian ;-)

I take this occasion to suggest that, when talking about ITPs and RFPs
which concern games, I think it would be good if we would CC the list
also. In this way we are more aware about otther's progress and avoid
stepping on each other's feet.

Hello,

Mortiz has told me in private that he currently does not have any time
to package Glest, and he is fine with me taking the job, but since I
will move from one city to another next week, and I don't know yet any
details related to Internet connectivity at the new place, I am
forwarding this to the Debian Games Team.

So this is now actually in the hands of the Debian Games Team, if
somebody steps up to the task.


P.S.: This is also an announce to the Debian Games Team to take over
any activity I might be involved in, related to games.

Subject: glest package - an analysis

Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2006 16:29:52 +0300

#I'll take this, in the name of the Debian Games Team
owner 350391 !
thanks

Hello,

I have looked over the glest package in REVU and tried to compile the
package. I don't know what happens with this package, but it FTBFS for
me.

These are the issues I have seen:
- build depends on libxerces26-dev (debian has 27)
- not gcc 4.1 ready (lots of extraqualification erros)
- !!! the build process does *not* stop at any of these errors !!!
- the glest binary is, of course, not created because many object
files are broken, thus the dh_install rule fails when looking for that
file
- I think there are some places where the result of a rule in a target
is ignored, which might be problematic

I'll try to package this game after I test it some more ;-)

*This* is weird! I specifically remember REVU pointing to a package
older than the one that should have been, judjing from the REVU page.
I have deleted from the dsc url the trailing part and looked by hand
the most recent upload of glest, then using that link to get the
package via dget. Maybe I have mixed middle click paste and
shift+insert paste.

the package has just compiled, I'll look into the ignoring thingies

Hmm, yes, that would be nice, but we will see.

That leaves us also with the clean target not really doing the right

I worked a little on fixing the clean target, but is not yet there,
because there is another patch which affects the Jamfile, which
disables the editor. This is how the file should look like after the
clean target is added.

Hello Giuseppe,

I have seen your comments on REVU, how would you feel about
comaintaining glest insde the Debian Games Team, thus we could have
both the Ubuntu and the Debian version in sync and we could reduce the
packaing effort?

Now, about the package... I have made a modified Jamfile which adds a
clean target (see bug #350391 in debian BTS:
http://bugs.debian.org/350391), but there are some problems related to
dpatch and the way the editor target is removed. Why did you disable
it? I think it would be a good thing to have the editor, too, so I
don't see a reason to remove it. Still I think the clean target is not
complete, but I didn't had time to fully follow this and inverstigate.

I have also a modified debian/rules but because of the editor target
patch issue I haven't published it yet.

I trieed Eddy's current debs, and they work great. I see there might be
some problems with big endian, but surely that's not a reason to delay
uploading this terrific game to unstable? Over 90% of debian users are
on little-endian arches, according to popcon.

The main problem is not big endian support, the problem is that for
all arches except i386 the binary is statically linked.

If anyone wants to take a look at this issue, please, do. But be
warned, that stupid build system jam is really broken and I had to do
some really weird stuff to go round it.

Even amd64? When I build there, I get a dynamic binary.

This is really weird. During DebConf, when I wanted to ask Tolimar to upload the package the binary was statically
linked. I did several rebuilds and got the same result. Now I have rebuilt it myself in a pbuilder chroot and there are
no problems.

Feel free to fetch again the source tarball from http://users.alioth.debian.org/~eddyp-guest/upload/glest_2.0.0-1/ and
upload the game (the previous version was outdated and had small problem).

The glest dsc file is at:
http://users.alioth.debian.org/~eddyp-guest/upload/glest_2.0.0-1/glest_2.0.0-1.dsc

glest-data's dsc file is at:

Ok. Note that I'm not a formal member of the games team (never took the
time to learn their setup), so I'm only sponsoring. glest and glest-data
Uploaded.

Description: 
 glest      - A free 3d real-time customizable strategy game
Closes: 350391
Changes: 
 glest (2.0.0-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Eddy Petrișor ]
   * added a disabled dpatch for the endianness issue; it was downloaded from
     http://kozz.org/files/games/glest/glest-cvs20070102-endian.patch.gz;
     explanations about the patch are at:
     http://www.powerdeveloper.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=6675
   * changed section to contrib/games since the glest-data package is non-free
 .
   [ Cyril Brulebois ]
   * Added XS-Vcs-Svn and XS-Vcs-Browser fields in the control file.
 .
   [ Eddy Petrișor ]
   * added reference links (in debian/TODO) to other distro's packages
     which seem to have more patches applied
 .
 glest (2.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Eddy Petrișor ]
   * Initial official Debian release (Closes: #350391)
   * changed dependency on libxerces27-dev instead of libxerces26-dev
   * added myself to uploaders
   * Debian Games Team is maintainer
   * Added a Homepage field
   * added a clean rule to the upstream Jamfile (not as a patch since it
     brings in unnecessary complications and the rule should be always there)
   * modified the way the editor building is disabled
   * do not ignore errors during build and clean; stop on failure
   * do not run autotools during build and do not depend on automake1.9
   * nasty tricks with symlinks so that there are no unrepresentable changes in
     the source
   * change arch to specify only little endian arches (!hurd) since glest is
     not big endian friendly :-(
   * added an unfinished and disabled patch for big endian support in the hope
     it will be finalized by somebody else
   * don't use utopia fonts since are not available in Debian
   * make sure that the configure script is always executable
 .
   [ Gonéri Le Bouder ]
   * call dh_desktop to run update-desktop-database
