Bug 232233 – games-emulation/sdlmame-0.126 version bump request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

hi,

there is a new release in town :)

I noticed it and was frustrated right away when i noticed it wants gconf now
hardcoded.

I noticed the DEBUGGER define is gone and hope it's a mistake.

However, i won't do a bump until that's sorted out. I'm not really motivated
to get a gconf setup for this.

So it doesn't seem to be a mistake at all. I'll halt the updates until it's
fully decided that they keep the gconf requirement.

I explicitly blocked gconf on my desktops (XFCE) to keep it slim. If another
dev really wants to bump sdlmame, i wont have a problem with anyone doing so
or taking over the package.

Hi, 
yes i noticed that requirement too (i mean gconf, i bumped sdlmame manually)...
i agree with you on this, for istance i use Kde as desktop environment and
in general i dont like to use gnome deps/components.

I hope this will change in the near future.

I've put some experimental test version to:

 http://dev.gentoo.org/~joker/sdlmame/

You need to download the ebuild, patch and distfile to
be able to use it.

I only tested it without gconf (local useflag) so far.
I'm also not that much in a mood to maintain this patch
in the future for every new release.

Ok, upstream dislikes that patch.

@games: Does someone from the games team want to take over this package?

hi, forgive my n00b-iness, but i downloaded all these files from http://dev.gentoo.org/~joker/sdlmame/ into games-emulation/sdlmame and now it's complaining that the file isn't listed in the manifest. How do i tell it not to check?

Ok, nevermind :) I read the wiki and learned all about overlays :) Thanks!

sdlmame-0.127 is now in portage. Thanks

Please also add yourself to metadata.xml as maintainer since you took over
the package. Thanks.
