Summary: Review Request: GZLauncher https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=176205 ------- Additional Comments From mwoodj@xxxxxxxxxxx 2006-02-08 14:21 EST ------- Thank you for submitting a bug report for my gzlauncher project. I also appreciate the testing that is taking place in your attempt to approve the software. I need to note a few things about the current state of gzlauncher. 1) Due to DoS attacks on the gzlauncher master server the gzlauncher developers decided that with the latest release of zdaemon they would close the launcher protocol. The developers would allow me access to the launcher protocol if it weren't for the open nature of my launcher. As I will not close-source my software this means that gzlauncher is currently unable to contact the zdaemon master servers. In the event that someone decides to do a branch off the most recent open-source version of Zdaemon and use an open launcher protocol I will support that project with gzlauncher. In the event that Zdaemon decides to open the launcher protocol at some point I will support that project again as well. 2) GZLauncher was developed rather quickly due to a sudden demand for a decent Linux launcher. I exclusively use Linux and when I decided I wanted a launcher other users expressed their desire for one. So, I decided to build GZLauncher and I cranked it out as quickly as possible. Their are very likely some bugs including the one that has been reported to me. There is probably memory allocated but never freed, etc, etc. When the opportunity arises to continue GZLauncher developent (when the protocol is again open) I plan on doing a full re-write of the application. This will include changing to the use of libglade as opposed to using glade produced code for the interface. I will also develop it more cleanly which will hopefully mean less bugs. I also have many ideas for features including adding buddly list and an irc client to connect to the zdaemon player chat as the windows launcher does. Basically, in my opinion, this software is not in a state to be included in any packages particularly since it is useless as long as the Zdaemon launcher protocol remains closed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
