RFC: yabause - Yet Another Buggy And Uncomplete Saturn Emulator
Hi *,
Guillaume Duhamel once asked on #debian-games for a package of Yabause
[1] - he is upstream and would like to see the emulator in Debian.
I started packaging it, even it's not really a game (but is used for
playing games) and had a few nice talks with Guill about my packages,
their build-system etc. So we have a very friendly and responsive
upstream and an active developement team - perfect :)
As Yabause has different GUIs (they call them "ports"), I currently
build three packages:
yabause - metapackage, depending on either yabause-qt or yabause-gtk
yabause-gtk - the gtk version
yabause-qt - the qt version (this one seems to be preferred as it has
more features)
The way I'm building both versions is maybe not perfect, but it works
fine:
./configure --with-port=gtk, make, copy the binary
./configure --with-port=qt, make, copy the binary
I would like to hear some comments from you.
And yes, I am aware that debian/copyright says:
Files: src/windows/resource.h, src/dreamcast/localtime.c
Copyright: UNKNOWN!
License: none
upstream works on this.
And yes^2, my orig.tar.gz is a CVS snapshot without a
README.Debian-source and stuff, it's just for testing anyways, I'll
wait until the next release (which should happen this month) before
uploading it to Debian (this is also why I did not upload it to
mentors).
Please grab yabause from my website [2] and give it a try (you can
test it with BubbleInvasion [3]).
TIA and regards
Evgeni
