Summary: Review Request: prboom - GPL doom game engine https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185211 ------- Additional Comments From j.w.r.degoede@xxxxxx 2006-03-13 11:20 EST ------- >> About provide / req doom-game/-engine and Desktop files >> ======================================================= >> I've been thinking about this and initially I came up with the following: [...] >> But this is /becomes a mess so I suggest instead: >> -doom-engines provide dataname-engine for all datasets they support > >I'm not too keen on this because it means that every time a new iwad becomes >available, the game engine package must be updated to signal that it can run it. > The game engine package should not have to know about all of the possible dataname packages that it can run. I get your point, but what are the chances of new iwads comming out? We need to only take into account iwads which _might_ be packaged. So for prboom that would be free-doom and doom-shareware. For vavoom it would be doom-shareware and heretic-shareware. If people have registered versions they will need to install them themselves, we can't provide packages for thus we don't need provides doomxx-registered-engine. and besided the shareware versions and the free versions I don't know of any other iwads, but that could be me. Hmm, after doing a search I've found many interesting conversions, but these are all pwads and most don't have a clear license. Still lets assume some have an ok license, how do these fit in? About your other comments, I tend to agree with your simpeler solution (which would make my comment above void) but I'm not sure yet, I need to think a bit more about this one. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
