Hi All,
To make sure all games we've worked so hard to package are in comps and thus
easy to find by the end user, I've written a small script which checks if every
package which has an rpm-group of Amusements/Games is in comps, I've attached
the resultiing script.
I've put a blacklist in the script to avoid what I believe are false positives.
Mainly things like level editors and servers, which do not belong in the comps
games group IMHO, maybe we need a game-utilities group?
Anyways FYI here is the current blacklist:
*-editor)
;;
*-server)
;;
*-selinux)
;;
*-logwatch)
;;
fgfs-Atlas|xblast-x11|kanatest|rott-registered|fortune-firefly)
;;
cowsay|ifm|shippy-allegro|wesnoth-tools|armacycles-ad-dedicated)
;;
frotz|tetrinetx)
;;
This excercise has resulted in me adding the following 2 comps:
raidem-music
asylum
angrydd
manaworld-music
quarry
uqm-content-voice
uqm-content-3domusic
torcs-data-tracks-dirt
torcs-data-tracks-oval
torcs-data-cars-nascar
freedoom-freedm
MegaMek
gnome-games-extra-data
atanks
sirius
pychess
glob2
And now I'm left with the following list of which I'm not sure what todo, input
much appreciated:
poker2d-kde (can't this be merged into the main package?)
torcs-robots
Regards,
Hans

It requires a directory which is in kdebase, so including it in the
main package would force users to have kde installed. I probably just
didn't think about it when I added poker2d to comps, I guess it should
be added.

Hmm, this is ugly twice:
1) It adds an entry to pirut which most users will not understand (KDE whats
that?)
2) If a KDE user doesn't pay attention he won't get the KDE support files.
The sub-package for the KDE files is very small, why not just merge it into the
main and co-own the dirs with kdebase, I know not very pretty from a packaging
POV, but it is allowed and from an end user POV much better IMHO.

I suppose I can merge them, It'll probably have to wait until the next
poker-network update though, the kde file just adds some keyboard
shortcuts, its not worth a rebuild in my opinion at this time.

Things like editors may be a lot of fun too so they are important, they
deserve at least a "utilities" group.
However, I am not sure they do not belong in the "games" group:
Widelands has the level editor (map designer) built in the main binary
but Wesnoth has two different binaries. In the first case the map editor
is (indirectly) part of the games group and in the second don't (both
are examples where I could see myself using the editor). The same will
apply to servers.

Agreed, care to open a discussion about this on the development-list? Or does
anyone know of an official procedure for getting groups added to comps?

I would probably just go ahead and edit it, and then announce the
change on fedora-devel-list. I don't think there is any harm in just
making the change now, if someone disagrees you can always just change
it back.

I'm not that sure about this being the right thing to do, one could argue that
there are so few editors that those could be added to the Games group itself,
as for other things like foo-selinux, well if you need that you better know how
to use cmdline yum, the same goes for standalone (iow console) servers.

Can you create a bug for me so I don't forget about this?
