Description claire robinson 2012-01-20 13:06:25 CET

Hello

Could you please package PUAE the Amiga emulator for Mageia 1. It was present in Mandriva 2010 (p-uae).

I've seen it as PUAE and p-uae. It replaces the e-uae which is no longer maintained.

Homepage: https://github.com/GnoStiC/PUAE

Thankyou :)

Oliver :)

Thanks Marja.

Comment 3 Oliver Burger 2012-02-13 11:48:18 CET

Will do, but it is a bit buggy.

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED

Comment 4 Oliver Burger 2012-02-18 18:10:07 CET

It's crashing here very often, MrsB, could you test the cauldron package?

Comment 5 claire robinson 2012-02-18 19:11:29 CET

Thanks Oliver, I will do when I get the beta installed. 

I compiled it locally from the git and had sound issues with it so I'm not sure it is all that stable but it's still worth adding, there are no alternatives to this at the moment still being maintained.

Comment 6 claire robinson 2012-02-27 10:29:04 CET

I just managed to test this Oliver, it seems to be missing kick.rom. It needs kick.rom to be able to start. I think that is why it is crashing.

Comment 7 claire robinson 2012-02-27 10:32:49 CET

I'll test on the one I got mostly working and see if it gives the same message.

If not then its maybe just imported from a time when it wasn't working.

Comment 8 claire robinson 2012-02-27 14:52:21 CET

This version appears to be quite old Oliver, it dates back to March 22nd 2011 and there was another comit 3 days afterwards.


It's actually on 2.3.3 now.

Comment 9 Manuel Hiebel 2012-11-05 16:51:16 CET

This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. 
In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing 
updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it 
remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not 
be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life.  If you would still like to see 
this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, 
you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version 
of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

closing as it's available in mga2 onwards

I imported fs-uae into cauldron, which is actually working (which p-uae is not).

So I had fs-uae obsoleting p-uae.

Since the version of p-uae we are providing doesn't work, I'd say we should backport fs-uae into 3 (and perhaps 2 as well) as a replacement for the not working p-uae.

Do we have a policy for that? Can we add fs-uae to the updates repositories or do we use backports?

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: OLD => (none)

Comment 12 claire robinson 2013-06-03 16:25:21 CEST

Strictly speaking, I think, the policy would make importing fs-uae a backport unless there is no way to fix p-uae. A backport shouldn't obsolete an existing package though.

p-uae in mga3 is quite old by the looks of it (2.3.3) it is still maintained upstream though. Currently 2.6.0 beta 19. (We thought we had alot of betas!)

Our current version segfaults when started. Would an update not fix it ?

Failing that an exception would need to be discussed on dev ML.

Comment 13 Samuel Verschelde 2013-08-27 16:43:25 CEST

Setting version to Mageia 3.

Whiteboard: Mdv, cauldron => Mdv, cauldron, MGA2TOO

Comment 14 Marja Van Waes 2015-03-31 16:02:57 CEST

Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
