[needs-packaging] E-UAE

Yes, you are right. The original UAE is outdated. The WinUAE team took over the program (rather forked the program) and have been developing it for a few years now, while the original UAE code remained more or less the same.

rcdrummond.net took the advanced WinUAE code and ported it back to its original platform. The new name for this port is E-UAE.

BTW, some unofficial Ubuntu packages for E-UAE are hosted in the http://morgoth.free.fr/ubports/ repositories.

True but those are i386, not x86_64 (although I did use apt to build from those packages source to make x86_64 versions).

Ben,
You have a link for the AMD64 package? I'm looking to try some old Amiga games.
Thanks

Pat

When these packages are officially packaged and uploaded, there would be just little reason to keep the original UAE packages. Maybe they should be removed then?

e-uae version 0.8.29-WIP4-6 is available on Debian sid (http://packages.debian.org/sid/e-uae). Any reason not to import it from Debian?

Ben Hodgetts send to me its amd64 compiled package for e-uae, not available at the moment from dragonden.org site.
I put Ben`s e-uae *.deb amd64 package 0.8.280.8.29-WIP4-14.deb to: http://postdownload.filefront.com/12601221//e5e210fbe0af3851e4a44187005d5a0f8d3b693297b1eac73d6f69532646461bd99cdf34ba940d1d

and also attached it to this message.

Please import that from Debian.

Adding the Ubuntu MOTUs to the subscription list (in the hope to initiate some movement here).

Hmm. According to the packages list the UAE version in Jaunty should already be e-uae (0.8.29-WIP4-6): http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/otherosfs/e-uae

 I cannot find an upload in the Jaunty-changes List though.

Can somebody check if E-UAE hit Jaunty already (I stll didn't make the transistion) and mark the bug fixed?
