Bug 94540 – armagetron has a new version

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Scott 2005-05-30 12:20:38 UTC]

There have been some changes in the Armagetron project structure. The original
author, Z-Man, took a very long break from development. Long enough, in fact,
for another team of gifted and motivated developers to produce a fork called
Armagetron Advanced. They managed to actually understand some of Z-Man's
convoluted code and made meaningful additions in the form of their release 0.2.7.0.
Z-Man has reappeared in the meantime, and joined the Armagetron Advanced
development team. So, now Armagetron Advanced is no longer a fork, it is the
official real thing. Armagetron has been obsoleted by Armagetron advanced. At
the time of this writing, a new release 0.2.7.1 has just been made public that
fixes, among others, some security issues of interest for people running a server.
Z-Man wishes to apologize to everyone who had to wait far too long for news or
new developments, and for those who might have been affected by the security
issues. For those who cannot part with the original Armagetron, version 0.2.6.1
has been released which fixes the most critical security issues, but no other bugs.

Reproducible: Always

Advanced project on Sourceforge for downloads

Armagetron original ebuilds should just go away due to compile problems, and
this project should replace it totally

[Comment 2 Stian Skjelstad 2005-06-28 03:06:49 UTC]

(0.2.7.1 is in portage)

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2005-06-28 05:44:07 UTC]

as noted, 0.2.7.1 is already in portage as is 0.2.6.1
