Bug 6591

Now available in Cauldron.
Will add it to updates_testing ASAP.
Thanks for the bug report.

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED
Source RPM: (none) => chocolate-doom-1.7.0-1.mga3

Advisory:
-------------
The package chocolate-doom is available in Mandriva 2010.x but was missing in Mageia 1 and Mageia 2 (so upgrades were broken). This update fixes this issue by providing chocolate-doom to Mageia distribution.

Packages:
-------------
chocolate-doom-1.7.0-1.mga1
chocolate-doom-1.7.0-1.mga2

How to test:
-------------
- Just try chocolate-doom to check it works.

Assignee: mageia => qa-bugs

Source RPM: chocolate-doom-1.7.0-1.mga3 => chocolate-doom-1.7.0-1
Whiteboard: (none) => MGA2TOO, MGA1TOO

Been running this and everything works (with known buggy demo's that need the overrun checking stuff) , even the hardware opl3 pass through (yes I'm that retro I got a card with one on it lol)

Many thanks for your hard work :)

You need the doom files in /usr/share/games/doom

(maybe it should pull freedoom also)

by default it runs doom2 but with -iwad you can select doom, tnt, plutonia, chex and hacx

Oh the testing performed was done on MGA2/x86_64

Testing on Mageia 1 x86_64. I installed freedoom and chocolatedoom they ran:
$ chocolate-doom -iwad /usr/share/games/doom/freedoom.wad

It seemed to start well but then I started a new game and it crashed.

Is that something that was expected, or is it a bug that can be fixed? Ask if you need more information.

I get the same crash for freedoom.wad so I looked it up

"Freedoom is a Free IWAD file that can be used to play Doom without the original proprietary game files. However, it requires a Boom-compatible engine to run. Because Chocolate Doom is only compatible with Vanilla Doom, Freedoom does not run properly with Chocolate Doom.

However, Chocolate Doom can still be made to run with Freedoom. The only incompatibility between the two is that the levels distributed with Freedoom do not run. Because of this, Freedoom will run without problems provided that replacement levels are always loaded. "

chocolate-doom only plays vanilla wads (heh), and everything I've thrown at it (that's compatible) has run flawlessly. so it's not the engines fault here.

That's why I didn't put freedoom as a require or suggests. ;-)
Thanks for your tests and feedbacks!

Testing ok, but I think it's in the wrong repository. It belongs to non-free because it can't run without any non-free stuff. It it ran with freedoom, it would be different.

Comment #10 is about Mageia 1 32

works well in Mageia 1 32.

If you agree that this package belongs to non-free, I'll ask sysadmins to move the package from Core Updates Testing to Nonfree Updates, if they are OK with that.

No, nonfree is for nonfree software.
Chocolate Doom is Free.
So...

If we had packages in nonfree that the package needed, then it should go in
nonfree.  However, as we don't have any packages in nonfree that will be required
or suggested, I agree it should go in Core.

Samuel, do you still think it should go in nonfree?

I've started a thread a few days ago on the mageia-devel mailing list, but haven't got a clear answer, so let's push it, as I personnally don't see a real problem at putting that kind of software in core. Also, putting it in nonfree would defeat the purpose of better upgrades from mdv, although for that kind of package this is not very important.
