Description Ezequiel Partida 2020-11-11 03:47:48 CET
Please bring back UrbanTerror Game for MGA8.

I read that urbanTerror 4.3.4 added Vulkan.

I downloaded the OpenMadriva Version and installed great (It looks great) but it would be nice to have it on MGA7 & 8 Repos.


Regards
Ezequiel

> Please bring back UrbanTerror Game for MGA8
This suggests Mageia had it in the past - but when?
I can see that we do not have it for MGA8; cannot check for 7, but you imply it is not there either.
This being a new package request, can you please give a source URL for the project?

> I downloaded the OpenMadriva Version and installed great
It might be useful for other users if you could describe exactly what you did to achieve that. TIA

Looks like it was present in Mageia 4,

but not in Mageia 5.

Deeply & expertly researched!
Comment 4 Lewis Smith 2020-11-17 10:53:39 CET
@Ezequiel
Reminder: please give some project information, like URL(s).
New package requests need references for the packagers to act on. Easier for you to give them than for we to research them...

Hello David,

it seems it was available with Mageia 5.  UrbanTerror 5 has been in alpha for almost a year and soon moving to beta.

urbanterror-4.2.023-1.mga5.nonfree.i586.rpm

Comment 7 Lewis Smith 2021-01-15 10:05:08 CET
Thanks for the new information.

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might, if there are no license or other legal issues, want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You Ezequiel might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

Great to read this.. Thanks David. 

This was actually my first package I created and available in blogdrake repositories.

Actually this report motivated me to learn how to package, thanks to Lewis Smith for the invitation on Comment 7,
