Please sync hedgewars 0.9.11-4 from Debian unstable (main)

It's important to have always newest version on this kind of online multiplayer game since all the players must use the same version. This should be also backported to older releases.

They have released a new version 0.9.10. We must have the newest version when playing online. That should be packed quickly.

Changelog:

* Many many more terrain generation options, maps can be huge, very small, caverns, caves, stepping stones.. you name it.
* To accompany these new terrain generation options there are new themes and musical tracks
* On top of this there are a ton of brand new preset maps, have your hogs fight on city scapes and lazy old men in hammocks!
* Lots of new hats (total of 79 now!) and to add to the hats, some new voice work
* A new type of weapon called a utility has been added, these weapons drop in utiltiy crates and boost your hedgehogs abilities, low gravity, laser sight, extra time, extra damage, forcefield
* Alongside weaponsets we now have "scheme sets", this means you can save gameplay options into a scheme for later use. We've also added a whole load more options for you to use in your schemes, you can add borders to any map, disable mines, enable low gravity, make all hogs invincible, and more.
* The server has been given a major upgrade, you can now reserve your name with your hedgewars.org account. At the moment there are no stats in game, but we may already begin tracking them to display them later, so remember to log in! We are also integrating the game with the website.
* A new Despeckling gameplay feature removes stray pixels from the terrain after fires/big explosions
* Graphics updates, language updates, music and sound updates across the board
* Demos can now be played without the frontend
* Weapons and hogs can now bounce off of the water if they hit it at the right speed/angle.. this can be used in a very interesting way with the rope ;)
* Hedgewars can now generate your team for you if you're feeling lazy, it also generates random teams for "quick play" mode, and even uses appropriate hats. I.e. it will generate a ninja team, with ninja names/hats!
* The game now officially works on windows, linux and mac!
* Changed girder functionality completely to make it a much more interesting and fun weapon!
* lots more

Andrew, is there any reason to attach boost diffs to an hedgewar bug?

Other than having having messed up and accidentally clicking on files with the same name in the wrong folder? No. ;-)

Thanks for catching this! I seems to have already deleted my work locally as well. Sigh. I'll redo the merge tonight.

Thanks a lot Andrew.

Are you planning to work on the 0.9.10 (or possibly 0.9.10-5 since they'll base their next tournament on that yet unreleased version) as well (when they hit Debian of course)?

Here we go. The right diffs this time.

@Loic: Yes I will. The Ubuntu diff should be included upstream by that point. So we will be able to simply sync directly from Debian again once it is released.

Sponsors please note, there will be a dependency wait as a new version of libghc6 seems to have been uploaded and its rdepends (namely libghc6-network-dev and libghc6-network-dev) haven't been rebuilt yet.

Err.... That should be libghc6-network-dev and libghc6-parsec-dev.

Andrew, do you have the new version ready? I'll upload it to Karmic and start the backport process if it works fine.

The above diff above should do, but it is still FTBFS in Karmic do to the ongoing libghc6 transitions.

It actually builds fine in Jaunty. I suppose we could go ahead and upload it while we wait for the transition to settle down, and backport the source. Hopefully it will just go into a depwait in Karmic.

I actually just made MOTU last week and could do the upload myself, but I was waiting on the transition. If you think it would be best, I'll go ahead and upload.

Oh, congrats Andrew! Yes, feel free to take care of it yourself ;)

0.9.11 is out now, too. Perhaps it would be better to update to this version, once the nasty build-dep problems are worked out.

Ya, unfortunately it's still FTBFS in Karmic. We're still waiting for haskell-parsec2 to pass Debian NEW and get synced into Karmic as haskell-network is dep-waiting on it and hedgewars depends on haskell-network... The whole haskell stack is going through a messy transition right now.

My plan it to upload this merge as soon as all that is cleared up, but also get 0.9.11 ready in case the Debian maintainer doesn't get around to it. If 0.9.11 hits Debian we'd be able to drop our delta as the only diff between Debian and Ubuntu right now should be included upstream.

Don't worry... I haven't forgotten about this. ;-)

I didn't think you had forgotten, I just wanted to make sure you knew 0.9.11 had been released.

Alright, here's an update on the status for those interested.

Turns out that even when the dependencies for 0.9.9 were satisfiable, hedgewars still will not build in Karmic due to changes in the more recent version of haskell-network. Luckily, upstream upstream has already fixed this 0.9.11 which is already in Debian. Unluckily, the upstream rewrite of the network code requires a brand new dependency which wasn't in either Debian or Ubuntu yet, haskell-dataenc. Due to that, Debian has temporarily disabled the network features.

The new dependency was finally accepted into Debian the other day. I just got it synced to Ubuntu. It is now waiting for approval in the NEW queue.

So long story short, we should be able to get 0.9.11 with network features re-enabled into Karmic shortly, and our long haskell headache will soon be over.

(Unless of course if you want to backport. Unfortunately, at the least you will have to backport the new dependency, but I fear that you might need to backport a chunk of the haskell stack as well.)

Thanks!! It looks like that package (haskell-dataenc) is ready now.

So, the Haskell transition is underway, but I don't see Hedgewars on this page: http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/multidistrotools/haskell.html

Now hedgewars-0.9.11-4 has been uploaded to debian/unstable. All the network features was enabled.

> + Please sync hedgewars 0.9.11-3 from Debian unstable (main)

0.9.11-4 (now it is in incomming)

Changing to a sync request. I'll ACK and subscribe the archive admins once it clears incoming.

This bug was fixed in the package hedgewars - 0.9.11-4ubuntu1

Just uploaded to karmic. Thanks all for your patience.

Had to make an Ubuntu local change, I'll forward it to the Debian maintainer. Hopefully we'll be back in sync for the next release.
