Hi! What about inclusion in Factory of libraries used by games such as ogre, cugui etc? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Why not. We can also include the games. ;) Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I gave some love to cegui and specially ogre. But those libraries need a real maintainer to be in Factory, I have been the only one doing commits to the ogre package in the last 18 months and I don't even really care about it. We are FIVE months late with the latest ogre update... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

What's missing? I may have some time to investigate issues. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Not really a lot. There are the strict aliasing and undefined behaviour warnings. I didn't even look at the former and the latter is in a memory allocator I don't dare to touch. The descriptions/summaries could be improved. And perhaps the docs could be moved out of {_datadir}/OGRE/docs to %_docdir, but not sure if something is expecting to find the docs in %_datadir. The problem is not something to fix right now. Is just to find someone who wants to keep the package in good shape once it enters Factory... And then the question of why. One could argue that having the package in the main repo could incentive it's use, and perhaps provide more Linux games in the long run. But right now we don't have so many packages that require Ogre. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

OK, I'll look into those.

Why? If the code in question invokes undefined behaviour it's pure luck if it does what was intended. Most of these bug have been rather easy to fix in the past.
The descriptions/summaries could be improved.
I already redid a few :)

I'd say it's rather easy! If no package inside the distribution uses it *and* there's nobody willing to really care for it the package gets dropped. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
