under share/examples/rc.d. The variable name already was named
RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR.
This is from ideas from Greg Woods and others.
Also bumped PKGREVISION for all packages using RCD_SCRIPTS mechanism
(as requested by wiz).
Ultima 7, an RPG from the early 1990's, still has a huge following.
But, being a DOS game with a very nonstandard memory manager, it
is difficult to run it on the latest computers. Exult is a project
to create an Ultima 7 game engine that runs on modern operating
systems, capable of using the data and graphics files that come
with the game.
Exult is written in C++ and runs on, at least, Linux, Mac OS X and
Windows using the SDL library to make porting to other platforms
relatively easy. The current version supports all of "Ultima 7:
The Black Gate" and "Ultima 7 part 2: The Serpent Isle", allowing
you to finish both games. This is only possible due to the work
done by other fans who have decoded the various Ultima 7 data files,
especially Gary Thompson, Maxim Shatskih, Jakob Shonberg, and Wouter
Dijkslag.
Exult aims to let those people who own Ultima 7 (copyright 1993)
play the game on modern hardware, in as close to (or perhaps even
surpassing) its original splendor as is possible. You need to own
"Ultima 7: The Black Gate" and/or "Ultima 7: Serpent Isle" and
optionally the add-ons (not required to run) in order to use Exult,
and we encourage you to buy a legal copy.

Bugs Fixed
----------
- Announcements in games now get a "\n" at the end.
Features Added
--------------
- Rank added to saved KGS Plus lecture list.
Changes:
* atlantik: fix problems with accepting invitations
* atlantik: put player views in a scrollview
* atlantik: show correct amount of players in trade widget
2004 Oct 21: version 1.2.1
* Introduced a basic stepping-control UI, and added stepping information to
the solution file format.
* Fixed a bug (MS logic) reported by David Stolp, involving blocks going
out and back into the slip list so quickly that they weren't sent to the
end of the list.
* Fixed a bug (MS logic) reported by David Stolp where block and creatures
were not moving into key tiles if the bottom tile prevented it (e.g. a
wall).
* Fixed a bug in sdltext.c, reported by Dale Bryan caused a segfault in
16-bit color mode.
* Added -r (read-only) cmdline option.
2004 Oct 04: version 1.2.0
* Fixed a bug (MS logic) preventing cloned tanks from turning around when
they hadn't yet left the clone machine.
* Fixed another longstanding bug (MS logic) involving a tank indirectly
pushing a blue button. Again, the bug was fixed explicitly instead of
trying to make the behavior arise naturally from the code.
* Improved some of the behavior of blocks being pushed (Lynx logic).
* Improved some of the behavior of blocked teleports (Lynx logic).
* Altered animations to run for either 11 or 12 frames, depending on the
parity of their initial frame, as discovered by ccexplore. (This finally
killed the nine-lived clone-boosting bug in ICEHOUSE!) Also modified the
point during the frame when animations get removed.
* Changed the Lynx walker to use a PRNG equivalent to the original, as
worked out by ccexplore.
* Fixed bug (MS logic) in how a block is removed from the slip list when
being pushed by Chip (reported by Shmuel Siegel).
* Fixed bug (MS logic) with deferred button presses; TW was incorrectly
deferring Chip's button presses and not just those caused by block
pushing.
* Fixed a horrid bug when encountering bogus values in a dat file. (The
code was meant to gracefully ignore the broken level and continue reading
the next level, but it failed to move the file position out of the broken
level before doing so.)
* Fixed keyboard routines so that they now understand characters as well as
keystrokes (thus e.g. the program recognizes "?" when entered on a
European keyboard).
* Added a help screen for the initial file menu.
* A few other minor bug fixes and miscellaneous improvements.
Aisleriot:
- Fix the end of game check for Odessa.
Ataxx:
- Fix a crasher on 64-bit machines.
Five or More:

- Use the ESD compielr flags properly.
libgames-support:
- Display ace-high card decks properly.
- Fix conflicting extern and static declarations.

Bugs Fixed
----------
S - Fixed a server bug that would sometimes make it crash on shutdown

out, so it was harmless but annoying.)
C13 - Got the "change whose move" control working again.
C13 - Added a tool tip for the "no chats" button.
C13 - Fixed rating system issue. Broke rating system in the
process. Ranks are now much too stable. Sorry, will be fixed when possible.

S,C13 - You can now undo in tournaments, but only when you are marking
stones dead.
Unfortunately, guile{,14}/buildlink3.mk directly includes it, and I don't
know which dependencies actually need libltdl, so it was a recursive bump.
Hopefully this recursive inclusion can be ripped out of
guile{,14}/buildlink3.mk at some point and bubble down to dependencies that
actually use libltdl, avoiding this headache in the future....
Project: Starfighter is an old school 2D shoot 'em up. In the game you

no longer stand back and watch as millions of people suffer and die. He
steals an experimental craft known as "Firefly" and begins his mission to

lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la

names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
gnome-games 2.8.0
=================
This is the first stable release of the 2.8 series. It should compile
happily in a GNOME 2.6 or GNOME 2.8 environment although a recent
librsvg is recommended.
*** Important ***
A lot of the themes and graphics have been moved to a
new, less frequently updated, package called gnome-games-extra-data.
You can get it from:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-games-extra-data/2.8/
The main gnome-games package still contains everything you need to
play, including the default themes.
Also:
- The backgrounds for gnometris are now set by drag and drop. You are
expected to use your own images for this, the old backgrounds are no
longer shipped as part of the gnome-games package, but can be found in
the gnome-games-extra-data package. The "Backgrounds and Emblems" menu
option from the nautilus file browser is also good place to start.
- The more detailed SVG themes for the card games will be slow to
redraw if you change the window size on anything but a fast machine. Be
patient. Playing the game is fine regardless of computer speed.
People who contribute to this release, in no particular order, are:
Callum McKenzie
Richard Hoelscher
Paolo Borelli
Jon McCann
Andreas Røsdal
Ryan Stutsman
Matthew V. Ball
Angela Boyle
Aaron Schlaegel
Sjoerd Langkemper
Theo van Klaveren
Bevan Collins
Rexford Newbould
Trevor Hamm

gnome-games 2.7.8
=================
This release is ready for the code-freeze. It contains only
bug-fixes. One more release with documentation updates and any
emergency bug-fixes can be expected before 2.8.0.
Remember that your favorite themes may have been moved to the
gnome-games-extra-data package. This is still at version 2.7.0, so if
you obtained it for the 2.7.7 gnome-games release you do not have to
download it again (for details see the 2.7.7 release notes below).
Bug fixes:
Aisleriot:
- Right click now works after window enlargement.
- The translation of the game-specific help menu item is fixed.
- --variation (and the freecell desktop file) now works for non-english
locales.
- Documentation for one and two-suit spider.
Blackjack:
- The payout for winning with a blackjack is now documented.
- The SVG chip images have been cleaned up and should work with most
versions of librsvg.
Four-in-a-row:
- "No or child" bug on x86_64 has been fixed.
Gnometris:
- Fixed a crasher on x86_64 machines.
Mahjongg:
- Cut down on unnecessary redraws while resizing.
Mines:
- Stop the face image being clipped.
- Fix the sanity-checking code.
gnome-games 2.7.7
=================
*** ATTENTION ***
A lot of the themes have been split into a separate package called
gnome-games-extra-data. The core package now contains only a minimum
amount of graphics, it is still functional, but your favourite themes
may not be there. You can get the missing themes back by installing the
gnome-games-extra-data package. gnome-games-extra-data can be found at:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-games-extra-data/2.7/
In the shuffling of themes, Richard Hoelscher's "Paris" SVG card theme
has crept into the main distribution. It uses the same source of
inspiration as David Bellot's SVG card deck, but is smaller and less
detailed, making it faster to load.
Bugfixes:
Aisleriot: Thieves, elevator and eagle_wing are now all playable
again (callum).
Five or More: Grid drawing improvements (Paolo Borelli).
Gnometris: Don't play sounds when we don't actually do anything
(Jon McCann).
Mines: Fix a rounding error when displaying scores on some
platforms (callum).
gnome-games 2.7.6
=================
Only one new item that should grab your attention: David Bellot's pure
SVG card theme. Be warned that this theme is complex and is liable to
expose speed issue and rendering bugs. These aren't David's fault,
they're mine.
There are also some bug fixes:
Aisleriot:
- Pileon should be laid out properly
- Streets and Alleys won't click on a double click anymore
Plus some typos fixed and of course plenty more translations.
gnome-games 2.7.5
=================
This is the last release before the feature freeze, therefore it is
full of new features. Klotski has been put back into the
distribution. The network code for iagno has been factored out and
there is a new connection dialog. The game server for iagno is now
available for local use, it can be found in the libgames-support
directory. Finally, gnometris has sounds !
All card games:
- Hybrid SVG/PNG replacement theme for Dondorf. (Richard Hoelscher)
Blackjack:
- SVG chip and slot images.
Gnometris:
- Drag and drop support for solid-color backgrounds (callum)
- Sound effects ! (callum, Richard Hoelscher)
- Configurable keyboard controls (Paolo Borelli)
Iagno:
- Factored out the network code (Andreas Røsdal)
- New network dialog (Andreas Røsdal)
Klotski:
- It's back !
Robots:
- Use the new keyboard control widget (callum)
Stones:
- The sound files have been removed due to being too close to (and
possibly recorded from) the C64 Boulder Dash game. Besides the theme
tune really annoyed me (callum)
Tali:
- New, SVG, die graphics (Ryan Stutsman)
gnome-games 2.7.4
=================
Lots of new stuff this time around. There are now new ways to play
both Aisleriot and Robots. Also, I've removed the shuffle button in
Mahjongg, you can currently only shuffle if you run out of
moves. There is a bug here, you can get in a situation where you can't
actually shuffle and are basically forced to undo. I'm working on a
solution.
Aisleriot:
- Implement Click-to-move (callum)
- Reorganise menus (callum)
- Context sensitive mouse cursor (Paulo Borelli, callum)

- Fix shuffle bugs (callum)
- Changing the map now gives you the option to start again (callum)
- Remove the shuffle button (callum)
Mines:
- Touch up the face graphics to be properly alpha-blended (callum)
- Draw the "wrong flag" cross in a scalable manner (callum)
Robots:

official GNOME 2.7 release probably want to look at the notes
for 2.7.1 too.
gnome-games 2.7.1

intended transformation: use "rm" to remove an option, "rmdir" to remove
all options containing a path starting with a given directory name, and
"rename" to rename options to something else.
which are the full option names used to set rpath directives for the
linker and the compiler, respectively. In places were we are invoking
the linker, use "${LINKER_RPATH_FLAG} <path>", where the space is
inserted in case the flag is a word, e.g. -rpath. The default values
of *_RPATH_FLAG are set by the compiler/*.mk files, depending on the
compiler that you use. They may be overridden on a ${OPSYS}-specific
basis by setting _OPSYS_LINKER_RPATH_FLAG and _OPSYS_COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG,
respectively. Garbage-collect _OPSYS_RPATH_NAME and _COMPILER_LD_FLAG.
This release fixes zillions of bugs (most notably, game saving/loading
now works). Also included is PNG support. There are too many little
changes to note, so see the ChangeLog for details.

Welcome to utopia. The year is 2174, and you have been ordered to
function as an orbital sniper. In your world there's just three
kinds of people: VIPs, dissidents and normal citizens. VIPs run
the world: they must not come to harm. Dissidents must die. If a
commoner or two gets wasted in progress, it'll count against you
when your post ends.
You were a normal citizen only moments ago. If you manage to prove
yourself and keep VIPs safe in your area, they might make you a
VIP. Or do poorly enough and they might decide that you're the
enemy.
On screen, VIPs are designated blue, threats are designated red
and the normal folk are white.
You control the target with mouse; right-drag or use mouse wheel
to zoom. Different zoom modes are useful for different things.
Zoom full out to see the whole situation at a glance (with all that
useless clutter removed), or zoom full in for better aiming.
Several levels of zoom in between give different information.
Left click fires your gun (which is based on some new physics laws
that we haven't invented yet, as the target is destroyed instantly).
The gun reloads for three seconds, so make sure you hit.
Changes from version 2.6.2 to 2.6.3 (Released 2004-07-13)
Bugs Fixed
----------
C13 - Put the "save game" button back in the GUI.
C13 - Fixed up enabled-ness of editing tools when in teaching
game. Really clicking an editing tools should (as Glue suggested, I
think) give the teacher control over editing, but that would be higher
risk than just disabling them and making the teacher choose "take
control", and I want this patch to get out today.
S - Fixed "duplicate games in open/active lists" bug. I'm 99% sure
that this is also the cause of the "ghost observers" bug.
C13 - Fixed recursive-endless-loop-when-opening-editing-tools that
seems to hit OS X. Maybe other platforms too.
C13 - Make it once again remember your sorting preferences for game lists.
C13 - Took out some bells.
*******************************************************************************
Changes from version 2.6.1 to 2.6.2 (Released 2004-07-12)
Bugs Fixed
----------
T - Tournaments seem to be working fine (on the server & web
side). Many many changes.
C13 - Fixed a misleading (or just plain wrong) error message that the
audio system would make sometimes.
C13 - Fixed the "exit with maximized windows and you'll never be able
to resize them again" bug.
C13 - Added a workaround for the "out of memory when I look at certain
games" bug. This was a 100% java bug, and my workaround will make the
names over the stones have a slightly worse appearance in some cases,
but it's 2 years after I submitted the bug to Sun and they haven't
fixed it, so I'm giving up.
C13 - When you try to play against somebody who set up a private
teaching game, you can't set it to "free" or "rated" any more. (When
you tried to do this, the server would kick you out!)
C13 - Got rid of use of system bell everywhere. It seems recent
windows systems have it disabled anyway. Now a short chime will be
played instead. A master "Sound enabled?" checkbox has been added to
the preferences window.
C13 - Changed keyboard accelerators for moving in SGF to just plain
arrow keys for "one at a time" movement, ctrl-arrow for "to
next/previous markup or variation". Finally figured out (atfer a lot
of investigating) why it seemed these only worked when the arrow
buttons had focus; it turns out, they worked as long as no focussed
button wanted the same keys - but such buttons were all over the
place! For example, click a scroll bar? It gets focus and eats all
arrow keys until you click something else. :-( So anyway, I did some
work, now it should really accept arrow keys to move through SGF
unless you have a text widget with a blinking cursor (in which case
the arrow keys move the cursor instead).
C13,S - Room owners & admins can now set a game to be a "special
event" game. Special event games are always put at the top of the game
list, to be easy to find.
C13 - Just noticed that the "registering" GUI is really ugly (way too
wide & short). Fixed up its proportions.
S - Changed network code a bit to make sure we never take very long to
handle inbound connections. When an audio game starts broadcasting,
everybody in the game sends a new connection at once - I think this
has been overloading the old network code and leaving people unable to
get the audio. Hopefully the new code will solve this problem.
C13,S - Rewrote the code for the "open games list." When I wrote it
the first time, I did a really crappy job. I mean, it worked, but it
was plugged into really awful parts of the server and was totally
impossible to extend in any useful way. So I rewrote it so that I can
create arbitrary "game collections" on the server. For 2.6.2, there
will be the open game list collection (which is now done), but there
will also be a game collection that has all non-private games that are
in progress.
C13 - Fixed the placement & size of labels for OS X.
Features Added
--------------
CGTP - Add an option for kgsGtp robots to reconnect automatically if
the server goes away.
S - Keep track of when users are promoted to assistant or admin. Sometimes I wonder how long people have been assistant/admin, but I don't know!
C13 - Added raw & audio data out levels to server stats window. (raw =
before compression, currently you only see raw)
C13,S - When your tournament game starts, it would be nice if the
"Your game has started!" alert had a "click here to join" just like
when somebody reloads an old game of yours.
C13 - Got rid of the editing tools window.
C13,S - Added room announcements. Admins, assistants, and room owners
can use this. Just like a normal chat, except it appears in bold, so
people knows it comes from somebody with authority.
C13 - Allow private uploads. No idea why I didn't have this in the first place.
C13 - Added auto-underlining (just like chat rooms) to message of the
day and user info. Took out "home page" box from user info, it now is
unnecessary.
C13,S,W - Finished server & client work for project x. Web page work
still required, but I can put that off until after the 2.6.2 release -
there will need to be a lot of server & client testing before the web
portion is needed anyway.
S - Room messages of private rooms are now not fully visible to
non-members. As per Cheyenne's suggestion, up to the first linebreak
is visible to everybody; so you can say "Ask wms to join this room\nHa
ha ha losers you can't read this" and everybody will see to ask wms to
join, but only members will see the message about losers.
C13,S - Changed "Last login:" to "Lost on:" in user info. Show when
they logged out last time, not in!

Wolfenstein Enemy Territory is a free, stand-alone, downloadable multiplayer
game in which players wage war as Axis or Allies in team-based combat.
Enemy Territory is completely free and does not require the original
Return to Castle Wolfenstein game to play.
Enemy Territory is based on the Quake3 engine.
This package includes both the game client and the dedicated server.

This is a little shot'em up arcade game for one or two players. It aims
to be an 'old school' arcade game with low resolution graphics, top-down
scroll action, energy based gameplay and different weapons with several
levels of power.
The ChangeLog has this to say about it:
- in-game menus, like the "Quit Game" question, and an End Round menu.
- menu handling changed some internal things, so it is possible to create
more menus at a time. it is possible to write own menuloops.
(this is used in the new playerselection screen and playermenu screen.)
- new player selection screen, needed because of the second local player.
- password protection for own games so they can be listed on the OGC but
only people with the password will be able to join.
- user-defined keyboad settings.
- the server can now kick players from the game
- programm parameters for automatic joining/hosting a game, using ogc, port
configuation and debug mode.
- Fixed: respawning of the player will continue and
finish when we go into Hurry Mode.
- Fixed: bombs will start ticking when another special
is taken or the player died.
- Fixed: statusbar will forced to update if a player
finished respawning.
- Fixed: number of items which have been dropped. If not
all items could been set a debug message will be printed
into the console or stdout.txt.
- Fixed: items can not anymore droped on bombs.
- Fixes the issue of it making incorrect assumptions
about the initial range of bombs and placing players in
unsafe positions.

the RCD_SCRIPTS rc.d script(s) to the PLIST.
This GENERATE_PLIST idea is part of Greg A. Woods'
PR #22954.
This helps when the RC_SCRIPTS are installed to
a different ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. (Later,
the default RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR will be changed
to be more clear that they are the examples.)
These patches also remove the etc/rc.d/ scripts from PLISTs
(of packages that use RCD_SCRIPTS). (This also removes
now unused references from openssh* makefiles. Note that
qmail package has not been changed yet.)
I have been doing automatic PLIST registration for RC_SCRIPTS
for over a year. Not all of these packages have been tested,
but many have been tested and used.
Somethings maybe to do:
- a few packages still manually install the rc.d scripts to
hard-coded etc/rc.d. These need to be fixed.
- maybe remove from mk/${OPSYS}.pkg.dist mtree specifications too.
Changes since 0.9.0:
- Game History window added.
- Forward/backward through game added. This is similar to undo/redo
but does not affect existing board moves.
- Don't allow opening more than one Pattern Evaluation window.
- Preferences dialog box is no longer modal. So game can be played
even when this dialog box is opened.
- Switch computer color menu is inactive when computer or human
plays both colors.
- Add missing text domain binding for i18n.
- Add en_GB locale messages.
- GNOME 2 is now required.
- Enable i18n.
- Toolbar added.
- GUI code reorganization.
- Undo/redo menus become active/inactive according to current game
state.
- Customizing game graphics is supported.
- Reorganize undo/redo mechanism.
Tilt the floor to roll a ball through an obstacle course before time runs
out. Neverball is part puzzle game, part action game, and entirely a
test of skill.
Also found here is Neverputt, a hot-seat multiplayer miniature golf game
using the physics and graphics of Neverball.
Changes:
* Removed excessive assertion in seconomy-gtk.c.
* Fix snet header file inclusion.
* Only sa_handler OR sa_sigaction in handler (cross compatibility).
* Repaired two bugs in sgame/soptions.c (fixes solaris compiles).
* License restricted to version 2 of the GPL.
* Easter Egg wars :)
QuakeForge is a 3D graphics game engine based on id Software's legendary
Quake and QuakeWorld game engine. Its purpose? To improve the state of
the game by improving the engine and making it accessible to as many
people as possible.
It uses SDL, straight Xlib, or OpenGL.
Powermanga is an arcade 2D shoot-em-up game with 41 levels and more than 200
sprites. It runs in 320x200 or 640x400 pixels, with Window mode or direct to
screen (DGA) and support for 8, 15, 16, 24, and 32 bpp.
URBAN is a bloody, violent sidescrolling shoot-em-up in which you're a
renegade military cyborg fighting your way out of the military base
where you were created.
This is a port of the GPL'd Quake 2 source maintained by the Quake Forge
team. They're patching it with an eye towards portability and bug fixes,
and in the future, feature enhancments.
Note that to actually USE this package you will need to obtain a copy of
the original Quake 2 from id Software.
SCRIPTS_ENV, don't bother explicitly including ${LOCALBASE}/include/,
pull in ossaudio.buildlink3.mk, link with ${LIBOSSAUDIO} and use
${DEVOSSAUDIO}. Bump PKGREVISION.
XXX What is with those install and deinstall scripts?
it as "xgalaga-2.0.34.tar.gz" from "${MASTER_SITE_LOCAL}". Now that the
project has been deleted on SourceForge the distribution file is likely
going to disappear from there, too.

branch (2.4.x):
- Mahjongg has new layouts, new tilesets and is completely scaleable.
It is also faster and shuffling works properly.

Changes since 1.73:
Version 1.81, 2/5/03
* fflush() wasn't being called after print_results() in xboard().
* hply was being set to 0 when xboard() received "black." This broke the
opening book code when playing black with WinBoard.
* set_hash() wasn't being called in bench().
Version 1.8, 1/30/03
* Added opening book code (book.c) and a small opening book (book.txt).
* Added hash keys; replaced the old repetition detection code with code that
compares hash keys.
* Changed bench to report a "Score" to avoid confusion/comparisons with the
previous version's "MIPS" (with score, 1.000 = my Athlon XP 2000+).
* Moved move parsing into its own function (parse_move in main.c).
compiled w/o GTK support. This avoids a dependancy on gnome*-dirs (which is
not actually here by a previous), so it can be installed correctly w/o X11.
Closes PR pkg/20922.
This release contains many bugfixes and improvements, two new
graphics scalers (HQ2X/HQ3X), better launcher/options support and

region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
