One thing I was wondering about, and I think I looked at the Fedora
packages, but have you folks tried to build clanbomber with clanlib
0.8? It's one of the few packages still using it.
No, we haven't tried that, I did once try porting (the then stable
version) of pingus to ClanLib-0.8 and it wasn't fun (I eventually gave
up). The differences between the 2 api's are pretty large.
Also clanbomber is not the only user of ClanLib 0.6 in Fedora, we also
have auriferious, a loderunner clone, well worth packaging btw, if you
do please start from the Fedora package (atleast take all the patches)
as the original sources contain quite a few bugs. And there are other
ClanLib 0.6 using packages on our wishlist. I guess clanLib was at the
height of its glory in the 0.6 days.
Talking about ClanLib, I've rewritten the fullscreen (xf86vidmode) code
for ClanLib-0.8 as that was causing issues with ballbuster (a
brickbreaker), the problem is that they use setviewport to their current
window, rather then creating a new unmanaged window at position 0,0,
this won't work on all video cards as setviewport often has a
granularity in the x coordinates of 4 pixels, causing parts of the
window border to show up. My rewrite has been merged upstream but they
haven't released a new version (yet) with it included.
