Description John G 2012-06-01 21:03:46 CEST
RPMFusion currently ships UFO:AI 2.3.1 for Fedora 17 but UFO:AI 2.4 is out. 2.4 contains 1,5 years of development.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ufoai/files/UFO_AI%202.x/2.4/
Comment 1 Karel Volný 2012-06-07 16:02:43 CEST
yep, I was trying to package 2.4 before F17 release ... unfortunately, the 1.5 years of development mean also a lot of changes to the buildsystem, and I was not able to cope with it within the limited time I had (the build documentation at UFOAI website is badly obsolete ...)

I'll take a look again once I have more spare time - feel free to ping me if there is nothing new here two or three weeks after RHEL 6.3 release

p.s. patches welcome, as usual ...

built in devel:

http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/build-status/job.psp?uid=13853
http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/build-status/job.psp?uid=13857

gameplay + combat works for me, but I haven't tested it too extensively, as Core i7 M620 integrated graphics isn't the right gamer's hardware ...
(I had to bypass the DRI check)
Comment 3 Karel Volný 2012-07-01 17:26:26 CEST
built also for F17:

=> closing

It's great to see upstream ufoai release packaged, there's one little problem, packages ufo-data and ufo-data-server should be bumped to 2.4 too. Right now dependencies are broken and it's impossible to install UFO:AI

the new data packages were built too, that's the second link in comment #2
http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/build-status/job.psp?uid=13857

you can download the packages here:
http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/plague-results/fedora-development-rpmfusion_nonfree/ufoai-data/2.4-1/noarch/

as the new ufoai has not been pushed to the updates yet, there are no broken dependencies in the distribution - the latest version available oficially is still 2.3.1-5.fc17 and it can be installed without any problem ... although a bit inconvenient and usually not the case, the *-testing repositories are NOT guaranteed to be in consistent state

once the new version gets pushed to the updates, ufoai-data should be pushed along - if not, then it is a bug, but a infrastructure bug, not a packaging bug ... please file the appropriate report then, if the problem persists; as a packager, I cannot fix the issues related to repository contents
