Provenpackagers shouldn't just jump in to doing version updates without at least trying to check in with the packager. As it turns out I was looking at doing the same thing as one of the first steps to clearing the way for 0 A.D. yesterday. I asked to be a co-maintainer for egoboo, egoboo-data and enet with the express purpose of update them to 2.8.1 and 1.3.3. I have been granted access to egoboo and am still waiting to hear from the owner of enet. Once I have access it will probably take about a week depending on when I have free time to do this. Thanks for the heads up about the bug. I hadn't noticed that. I did notice there is some post 2.8.1 work, but not a release yet. It may be I can cherry pick a fix out of that work. _______________________________________________ games mailing list games@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/games
