2) Are you planning to merge the existing SUSE Package Conventions with the new Guidelines? Yes, that's a long term plan. The reason what I'm doing this is because Fedora's structure of documentation is better than we have (we also has a lot of information on wiki, but you often need to know where it is). And if we will have a packaging documentation in similar structure, it would be easier to check the differences. And maybe work on some unification, but my main goal is improve packaging docs for SUSE.
In which state is this? I see "http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games/Packaging" isn't in http://pack.suse.cz/mvyskocil/fedora-packaging-guidelines/, but it has some interesting points.
The import status (and the list of the imported pages) is here http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Status . As you can see we only imported (some of the) pages from Packaging: namespace, so SIGs/Games/Packaging is not there. It is a nice document and I'm considering it adding to our Packaging Guidelines, but first I'd like to clarify some points ...
I don't know what other maintainers of the game repo think, but I would say it is valid with just these changes: - For third point we make it the other way. openSUSE game packages use /usr/games and %{_datadir}/games/%{name}
This is worth discussion. Is there a solid reason to use separate directories for games? (According to FHS /usr/games and /usr/share/games are optional and we have it in our filesystem, so I'm neutral about this).
I'm also pretty neutral... if I would need to select one I would vote to not use games suffix, if only to follow Fedora. The only problem is that since you ;-) asked me to use the games suffix (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2008-07/msg00048.html) I have always been using it and it seems the packages from the games repo really use it most of the time. If we are going to change it better now than later, but we have a good quantity of packages already using games. After all... I would vote to not use the games suffix, I don't think games are so special. Even if I just asked two days ago to a submitreq to use the suffix :-p The current games will change with time, there is no hurry. I put Toni CC since Packman also has a lot of games, most from him, and he may have something to say.
- The OpenGL Wrapper part can be removed.
We have opengl-games-utils package in games, so we could probably follow this point, but I'm not sure whether it is worth it. I just added the check to Game Store[1], where it makes sense, because the user cannot see the console output.
Being a nVidia user without problems to install the propietary driver my view could be biased, but I don't really see much need for it. There are still problems when trying to use 3D games at the same time than a compositing window manager with other drivers? But sure, if the package is already there it could be used. If Fedora uses it I suppose false positives aren't a problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
