Description Hans de Goede 2006-07-22 05:37:15 UTC
Spec URL: http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/auriferous.spec
SRPM URL: http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/auriferous-1.0.1-1.src.rpm
Description:
An arcade style like game. The goal is to fight out all gold from the caves and
go into in the door. Sounds simple, but try it. :) The challenge: Because some
bad blue Monks want prevent you from that, they bite of your head if the catch
you. good luck :) Further the caves(levels) are often like mazes with dangers
and traps, to pass them you need a lot of skill.

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2006-07-22 05:42:57 UTC
Note this packages needs ClanLib06, review bug 199632



Comment 2 Wart 2006-07-31 00:20:43 UTC
GOOD
====
* rpmlint output clean
* package and spec file named appropriately
* spec file legible and in Am. English
* GPL license ok, license file included
* Compiles in mock on FC5-i386, FC5-x86_64,
* No extra BR:
* Source matches upstream:
  660447c44af5cee7543de57cc9dcafc6  auriferous-1.0.1.tar.bz2
* No locales
* No shared libaries
* Not relocatable
* RPM_BUILD_ROOT cleaned where necessary
* macro usage consistent
* Contains code and permissible content (game data)
* No need for -doc subpackage
* No need for -devel subpackage
* .desktop file installed correctly
* Does not own directories that it should not.
* Runs on FC5-i386

MUSTFIX
=======
* Missing BR: libpng-devel, or is this supposed to be pulled in
  automatically by ClanLib06-devel?

SHOULD
======
* Too many smileys in the %description.
* Consider moving %{_datadir}/auriferous to a -data subpackage

NOTES
=====
* The display size is slightly larger than my 800x600 setup, making it
  somewhat awkward.  I didn't see any in-game options to change the display
  size, is that possible?
* What's the difference between playerr.png in the tarball and your
  modified playerr.png?

Yes that is a missing Requires in ClanLib06-devel, I've fixed this and the new
ClanLib06 is building on the buildsys as I type. Sigh, I manually checked all
the ClanLib06 headers for things like this, but appereantly I've read over the
#include <png.h> .

> SHOULD

You're right I've copy and pasted that from the homepage. I've removed the smileys.

> * Consider moving %{_datadir}/auriferous to a -data subpackage
Unless upstream has the data in a seperate package too that is a useless
exercise, since any bugfixes to the engine part will require a rebuild of the
SRPM and thus will result in a new data subpackage packages too, so a user doing
a yum update will still download all the unchanged data files along with the
bugfixed engine. I wouldn't mind a solution for this, but as is creating a data
subpackage and then Requiring it from the main package has no advantages.

I've taken a look and everything is hardcoded to 1024x768 using pixel
coordinates, so I'm afraid I cannot (with reasonable effort) fix this.

My version adds one additional column of transparant pixels to the right (gimp),
upstream it is one column to small causing memory curruption (clanlib really
should complain, but instead it accesses random memory). It took me quite a bit
of time to hunt this down.

You could package them with two different spec files that share the same
tarball.  In theory this should work, but I haven't tried it out myself yet.  In
any case, this isn't a blocker.

It might be good to document this somewhere, either in %description, %doc, or
with an in-game warning.

Ouch.  Perhaps you could add a short comment above Source1: in the spec about this.

Some time ago I've discussed this on f-e-l. The advice then was to create 2
different tarbal's from the upstream one myself, I concider this to much of a
long term maintainance burden. Your approach was rejected because it would make
the diskspace requirements for SRPMs for the involved packages double. So lets
just leave things as they are (this is not the only package affected by this).

Good idea, I've added a note to the description.

Another good idea, I've added a comment about this.

Comment 6 Wart 2006-07-31 16:33:40 UTC
The new ClanLib06 package fixes the libpng-devel requirement.  All other changes
look good.

APPROVED

Thanks! Imported and build, closing.
