Better to file version-bump bugs to b.g.o. Reporting/complaining here is less likely to produce results. Remember to wait 2-3 days after the official release date before filing a bug; give the maintainer a little time to do the bump him/herself. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.

[gentoo-user] Wesnoth version
Is there a specific reason why gentoo doesn't provide development versions of Battle for Wesnoth (games-strategy/wesnoth)? I couldn't find anything in bug database. Development versions (1.3.2) are pretty stable, so I can't see a reason why are not included in ~x86. As for x86, 1.2.4 (latest stable) seems ok. Should I open a bug for that? Thanks, Marko -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Make sure it's been 2-3 days after the release and then file a version bump bug. Please report if simply renaming the existing ebuild works and/or what you had to change to get a clean compile/install. If you follow Wesnoth closely, but aren't part of upstream, you might consider becoming a/the gentoo package maintainer for it. IIRC, IMHO, the packaging for Wesnoth could use a little love. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.

I haven't noticed nothing suspicious so far. If you follow Wesnoth closely, but aren't part of upstream, you might consider becoming a/the gentoo package maintainer for it. IIRC, IMHO, the packaging for Wesnoth could use a little love. I agree that Wesnoth woul need more love, but I don't qualify as official maintainer of Wesnoth package simply because I have never looked into the code.
