[Comment 1 Dan McDonald 2005-03-07 21:35:57 UTC]

Created attachment 52888 [details]
A working ebuild. Please review

This is the first ebuild I've ever made, largely plagiarized from the older
one. It seems to work perfectly. I'm not sure whether I fixed the $Header$
thing.

[Comment 2 Dan McDonald 2005-03-07 21:50:41 UTC]

You can get my copy of the CVS checkout here:

ftp://24.21.110.45/openal-20050307.tar.bz2

[Comment 3 Bob Thomas 2005-03-30 13:56:24 UTC]

What really needs to change is the actual versioning. Instead of using a snapshot date, use the sample implementation version. Also, this version of Openal is technically just the open source sample implemetation of the 1.0 spec. There are different implementations, just like there is mesa. The only other linux implementation I know of is http://www.lost.org.uk/openal.html. We could have openal-si-0.0.8 and openal-lost-1.2, etc. (which block each other). To keep up with CVS, there could be a separate openal-si-cvs ebuild that fetches directly from CVS.

There really is no easy or obvious solution to how to version Openal, since the devs themselves are still undecided about it. There is talk of making official releases, but their reccomendation is still to just get CVS_HEAD, since it is supposed to be almost always stable.

Also, there is an unofficial 0.0.8 release canidate to be considered at http://icculus.org/~aspirin/openal/openal-SI-0-0-8-candidate.tgz

Is bug 88432 a dupe?

[Comment 5 Jan Brinkmann (RETIRED) 2005-04-16 09:58:47 UTC]

*** Bug 88432 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 6 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-05-04 18:26:24 UTC]

Please try out openal-20050504 which I just added to portage (in package.mask).  It fixes a few problems, and I haven't seen any regressions yet, but that doesn't mean they're not there.

[Comment 7 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-05-05 11:12:17 UTC]

oh, and for the record, if you submit an updated ebuild for a version bump, please don't just comment out patches that don't apply.  Receate the patches so they DO apply...

[Comment 8 jack_mort 2005-05-08 11:14:50 UTC]

I just tried the new ebuild, but now I don't get any sound from ut2004 :-(

In the log, I have : 

Log: Created and initialized a new SDL viewport.
Error: Audio initialization failed.

Well jack, ut2004 works for me with this version on amd64.  Can youu verify that dropping down to the older openal fixes the problem, please.  Also, are you using the latest ut2004 version?

[Comment 10 jack_mort 2005-05-08 12:29:58 UTC]

Well, in fact, I think I've a problem with ut2004 : it doesn't even start anymore ! It just cracshes when initializing sound... I've tested openal and alsa, but none seems to solve my problem. Too bad :'(

[Comment 11 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-06-19 11:30:28 UTC]

Ok, this should be fixed now, then =)

Thanks for everyone testing.  It's now in ~arch, and I'll leave this open until
I move it into stable in a few weeks.

[Comment 12 Anton Romanov 2005-06-22 01:07:27 UTC]

hm why does openal-20050504 puts headers in /include/ ??? (and i was wonderign
why crystalspace couldn't found it ...)

[Comment 13 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-06-23 23:58:05 UTC]

it's fixed in -r1, thanks.

[Comment 14 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-09-02 07:11:27 UTC]

20050504-r1 is stable, so I'm resolving this one...
