BZFlag 2.0.10 Release Candidate 3
Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2007 9:30 pm
by JeffM
Continuing on with our planned release of 2.0.10, we now have the next release candidate. For more information, see the
the 2.0.10RC2 thread.
This version has some minor changes from the previous release.
You can see the change log for more detailed info.
This is a pre-release candidate build for that version (2.0.10). It
IS compatible with existing 2.0.x servers, so you can play still with everyone else. If all goes well we hope to have 2.0.10 as a final release in a few weeks, but we need
YOUR help testing it.
We have a windows installer built now. Debian/Ubuntu packages are being made and will be posted when they are ready. In a few days we will try to have a Mac OSX universal binary made available.
Note to Mac users: 2.0.10 and any future binaries will
not support OSX 10.2. Version 2.0.10 will be made as a universal binary for 10.3 and 10.4
only.
This does not mean that development has stopped on the next major version, 2.2. This is simply a maintenance release of the changes that have been made in the 2.0.x branch, mostly so we can get a good build into the Linux distributions. Development is still ongoing for 2.99, which will be released as 3.0. 2.0.10 does not contain any new major features, flags, or gameplay changes. It is just like 2.0.8 with regards to gameplay.

Please try out the above packages and report any problems. Try to break that client and server. Attempt things that someone might try and see if it breaks. As always, we want this to be a very stable release. But we need the help of users to make sure it is. So tell your friends and have them try this out.

There seems to be an issue with title.png in RC3. This file will not display correctly on my machine. The old title.png will as well as the new 2.1.x title.png when I copy them to /usr/share/bzflag. Possibly compression? The new file is about half the size of the old or the 2.1.x file.
EDIT:
Found something...
Changing the new image from indexed to RGB fixes my issue. Should the image be RGB or indexed?

We support both RGB and indexed. The particular format being used by that PNG seems to have a bug though. I'll look at it later, and probably check in a fix to trunk.

As a comment to the previous ebuild:
The following lines are no more needed:
sed -i \
-e 's:^CFLAGS=.*::' \
-e 's:^CXXFLAGS=.*::' \
-e 's:-mcpu=$host_cpu::' \
-e 's:-mtune=$host_cpu::' \
-e 's:-ffast-math -fno-exceptions -fsigned-char::' \
configure \
|| die "sed failed"
filter-flags -fno-default-inline
replace-flags -O2 -O1
If you name the ebuild games-action/bzflag-2.0.10rc3.ebuild you don't need the:
mv "bzflag-2.0.10rc3" "bzflag-2.0.10_rc3"
So you can drop the src_unpack at all

There is a slight problem with the server list filter. When I try to use an 'f' character, it toggles the favorites list, rather than adding it to the word I want to filter. I am, however, using code from SVN, so it may not be as up-to-date as the 3rd release candidate (I believe I updated from SVN when the first 2.0.10 was released).

Just tried it on my machine, and didn't encounter the issue. Perhaps you can update to the latest code and give it another shot?

If you name the ebuild games-action/bzflag-2.0.10rc3.ebuild you get
Code: Select all
ebuild bzflag-2.0.10rc3.ebuild digest
!!! games-action/bzflag-2.0.10rc3 does not follow correct package syntax.
This
was for the amd64 'I can't shoot anyone' problem IIRC; if a dev wants to comment on that I can submit a patch when 2.0.10 goes to the tree. Also
Code: Select all
sed -i -e 's:-mtune=$host_cpu::' configure
is still valid.
But, more importantly than those two reasons, without src_unpack where would I put
Code: Select all
if use cheater ; then
ewarn
ewarn "You are building a naughty copy of BZFlag"
ewarn
epatch "${FILESDIR}/${P}"-God_mode.patch
fi
in my own personal overlay?

It appears that BZAdmin does not run at all on Windows systems (tested Vista and XP). Receive an error that "pdcurses.dll was not found"

You are right, it was already fixed.
