Summary: Build Service Emulators Repo - Mupen64 is fork version -
Should be different name than official one in
home:/wberrier
Product: openSUSE 10.3
Version: Final
Platform: x86
OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3
Status: NEW

Hey,
I hope this is the proper place for this. The Build Services Emulators/ repo
has nicely added a new release forked from the N64 emulator Mupen64. However,
users who have that repo active and/or the repo at home:/wberrier which has the
official Mupen64 on it will automatically get the forked version since it is
named the same and has a higher version number.
I discussed this with the fellow on the official Mupen64 forum and he knew
nothing about the package being made available, although happy about it and
hopeful that whoever was responsible for making the OpenSUSE package would also
keep up with his upgrades as he releases them.
He did agree that this naming convention used was not right or good. He said
he was always careful to name his packages slightly differently than just
Mupen64, like Mupen64-Rice-Video or something as he is simply contributing this
stuff on his own and certainly doesn't want to interfere with Hacktarux
(spelling ? sorry!) and his official version of Mupen64.
Hopefully we can get the package maintainer and contributer of this to go over
to the forum, see how Richard names these forks, and apply that to the naming
of the OpenSUSE packages so that a user will be aware of this being an
experimental version of Mupen64. Perhaps a comment in the notes can tell a
user of the location in the wberrier repo of the official version, and even
that if he wishes he could take the Rice Video plugin from this fork and drop
it into the official Mupen64 if it is desired to test just the improvements to
the plugin.
As of now, a user will just get the fork as an update if the Emulators repo is
active. That's not good.
