Bug 2812

The RPM is childsplay-0.90.2-2.1.mga1, not 3.1mga1 :)

Tested on i586, works well.

But: there's an error in console 

************************************************************
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/childsplay", line 379, in __init__
    f = open(SCOREFILE,'r')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/samuel/.childsplay/childsplay.score'
 Please send a bug report with this stuff to,
 childsplay@users.sourceforge.net
************************************************************
Something went wrong with the score file
 Trying to create a new one
OK


=> I think this is not a big error, it should happen only once. Just weird that the program raises an apparently uncaught exception for that, but has no impact on the functionalities AFAIK.

As most users will start it from the Education menu, I think the one time
error message can be ignored.

I consider testing for the srpm
/usr/share/applications/mageia-childsplay.desktop
complete on i586.

x86_64:

Confirm the one time error message. I don't get any sound when clicking on the 4th icon though (pacman letter game).

Personally I think childsplay would be improved with lack of sound ;o)

It is supposed to be reading a number though but isn't doing so.

I think you did not get the updated package with your locale, I hear the english sound with your locale (en_GB) on x86_64 .

I tried i586 aswell, it is the same, although the icons are in a different order. I tried several of the games but it doesn't read a number, just goes straight into the game.

The current version of childsplay is 1.6 - http://www.schoolsplay.org/

Version 0.90.2 is from 2008.

Changelog shows better support for locales in 1.0 but additional fixes in 1.5.1, both specifically mentioning en_GB.

Should a bugfix update to 1.6 be made instead?

I expect to send it as a backport, as it is rather different than current version. In fact, 1.6 is already in Cauldron.

I think we can validate in that case as the issue has been corrected in most locales.



Advisory

--------------------

This update corrects and issue with Childsplay where it complained of missing files. Those files have now been added to the package.

A more recent version will be backported at a later date.
