Hello Jokaim, testers and gamesers, I'm currently looking for testers for my new package "redeclipse" which is an FPS game, and I'd be happy if you had the time to poke at it a bit, and karm it appropriately :) I've already had a test inquiry from Joakim (thanks!) and below follows a bunch of stuff which I thought might be relevant to test for this particular package (with the caveat that I know naught about the proper Fedora testing process).

Hmm, Red Eclipse requires Enet 1.3, which also is only in f17. Although, I guess it should be fairly easy to just grab the enet and RE RPMs from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=306840 and http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=321682 and install in f16, hoping that enet is the only dependency that's f17-only. > > > There are some basic testing hints at: > > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_test_updatesI'm not sure what the process is with a new package, and if using a > > clean system is a necessity...
