Oibaf, thanks for the link. Strange, I had searched *hard* for an existing bug report but found nothing in launchpad.
We had considered using libtxn-dxtc0 which would be a more generic solution but the games in question appear to be asking for s2tc specifically: <Sarvatt> should be libtxc-dxtn0, so people can actually use the patent encumbered one if they want? :P libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0 provides libtxc-dxtn0 <bryceh> not a bad idea <Sarvatt> except the humble games require libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0 so cant install it at the same time as those anyway :( <bryceh> hrm <RAOF> The humble bundle explicitly depend on libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0? <Sarvatt> bastion does at least <RAOF> Sarvatt: Is there any particular reason why someone would want the patent-encumbered one? <Sarvatt> haven't heard of any complaints about s2tc, but the description of how it gets around the patent makes it sound like the patented one might be preferred <Sarvatt> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S2TC <Sarvatt> better to stick with what we have i guess after thinking about it, not like libtxc-dxtn0 will be going into debian/ubuntu and the provides might end up getting dropped one day <bryceh> ok I will dupe 823062 here if you don't mind. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1053065 Title: MIR for s2tc, required by various games To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/s2tc/+bug/1053065/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
