Package: prboom Version: 2:2.4.6+dfsg-1 Severity: wishlist prboom has 2.4.7 (since late 2006). It seems to fix some bugs, so is worth updating to.
There's also prboom-plus (prboom-plus.sf.net), which has just released a version based on "[prboom's] most recent stable version, 2.4.8 (SVN)". I'm not quite sure what that means. That it's based on svn code? That 2.4.8 is tagged in prboom SVN, but not released? Anyway, prboom-plus is being developed, prboom seems not to be. Also, prboom-plus seems to be a friendly fork: "The target of the project is to extend the original port with features that are necessary or useful for me personally and to all those interested in my work. It is worth noting that all changes introduced by me in no way break PrBoom's compatibility with the original Doom/Doom2 engines, and it is possible to be confident this will never happen in the future since compatibility is as important a merit of PrBoom as it is to me." The changelog for the latest release, 2.4.8.2, reads: "New mouse code was written without SDL lags. Win32 mouse handling was removed. Boom colormaps are supported in OpenGL mode. New mus-to-mid conversion code was added. This removes bugs and plays back a lot of music more like vanilla Doom. PC speaker emulation was added. A wipe screen effect in OpenGL was added." Hence, you might want to think about prboom-plus. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'experimental'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages prboom depends on: ii freedoom [doom-wad] 0.5-1 free game files for the 3D game DO ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 7.0.1-2 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglu1-mesa [libglu1] 7.0.1-2 The OpenGL utility library (GLU) ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-2 PNG library - runtime ii libsdl-mixer1.2 1.2.6-3 mixer library for Simple DirectMed ii libsdl-net1.2 1.2.7-2 network library for Simple DirectM ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.11-9 Simple DirectMedia Layer prboom recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
