Pioneers was formerly known as Gnocatan.
This is an 'update' based on the old gnocatan package with some changes:
- some dependencies changes, so it needs fewer packages
- fix hardcoded manpage paths
There are too many changes since gnocatan 0.8.1.16 to list them here.
Please check the NEWS file in the source archive for more information.
There is one important one:
CVS Snapshot release 0.9.55
This is a security release for the meta server.
* The public meta server could be crashed by sending commands to create
a new game, even though the meta server does not allow the creation
of new games.
Everybody who is running a meta server is requested to upgrade.
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0467
This the third maintanence release of the 2.12 stable gnome-games
branch. It contains only fixes and a translation updates. It should
stop crashes in Mines on 64-bit machines and fix two bugs in
Aisleriot. The Aisleriot fixes were to make Elevator playable again
and to fix a crash in Diamond Mine during the end-game. The updated
translation was the German translation.
This really fixes the potential exploit against
the Windows server, which was not correctly fixed in 1.5.11.
Changes 1.5.11:
This is largely a security bugfix release, fixing a potential exploit against
the Windows server when running as an NT serivce.
Pkgsrc:
Use options.mk to build Curses and/or GTK user interface.
TetriNET is an addictive 6 player tetr*s game
What this program does is set up a TetriNET server that ordinary
TetriNET clients can connect to. It attempts to fix some of the
"glaring" holes in the TetriNET protocol that I discovered, and which
I'm sure some people use as cheats, but I now see why it is nearly
impossible to fix ;), without a modification to the client.
I've kept the server as close to the same as the original TetriNET
server, but I've added some extras that I've often wanted, such as
the "/kick" and "/ban" keywords.
Please note this server in no way encompasses the whole game. The clients
are the ones that do most of the work, with the server just passing suitable
packets between each client, and of course adding some of its own.

"extract" script for extraction. Many cases where a custom EXTRACT_CMD
simply copied the distfile into the work directory are no longer
needed. The extract script also hides differences between pax and
tar behind a common command-line interface, so we no longer need code
that's conditional on whether EXTRACT_USING is tar or pax.
This the second maintanence release of the 2.12 stable gnome-games
branch. It contains only one bug fix and several translation
updates. The bug fix eliminates an illegal move the the Aisleriot game
"Thirteen". Upgrading is only useful if you play Thirteen or you speak
Swedish, Estonian or Dutch.

without affecting packages that are currently using it.
Packages which previously didn't set BUILDLINK_DEPMETHOD to neither "full" nor
"build" now set it to "full", but should be checked whether they really need it
(comment added). Packages which previously set it to "build" now don't set it
anymore.
Ok by jlam, wiz.
Change most pkgs to depend on either
emulators/suse_linux/Makefile.application (normal pkgs) or
Makefile.common (suse91 and suse themselves) to filter out Operating
Systems without Linux ABI support. Use CPU masks to limit the pkg to
supported platforms.

very slight popping noise at the end of some sounds. Files that have been
compressed with older versions of compress_sword2 will, of course, still
have the same error. You may want to regenerate them.
by me.
Tenes Empanadas Graciela (short TEG) is a round-based computer game
running under Linux. The idea for this free software (GNU GPL)
program came from the popular Risk game but differs in many aspects of

Then use cpio to install.
I chose to do it this way although it can take over 10 minutes to install,
because users can modify levels and maliciously fill up disk space.
(Maybe there is some tar, pax, or cpio option to extract and not use
permissions in the file?)
Bump PKGREVISION.
Add LANGUAGES= # none
And added a comment to this file about the score files:
what cleans them up?
The game InterLOGIC is based on the old Amiga logic game "Balls".
The object of the game is to move balls of different colors through
a maze, connecting them with other balls of the same color. Two or
more connected balls of the same color will disappear. The aim of
the game is to clean the whole maze in this way. The balls are
connected if they are right next to each other horizontally or
vertically, but not diagonally. The current release contains 30
mind-breaking levels for you to solve.
gnome-games 2.12.1
==================
This is a stable maintenance release of gnome-games. Several bugs have
been fixed and translations have been updated. Upgrading is
recommended.
The bugs fixed:
General: Fixes to the build system to ensure the correct glib version
is used and make sure compiling without ESD works. Compiler fixes for
Solaris and Mac OS X.
Aisleriot: Fix conflicts between menu short-cuts. Fail more gracefully
when a game file cannot be found (necessary when using a shared home
directory).
Nibbles: Fix conflicts between menu short-cuts.
Robots: Set the background color correctly at start-up.
Gnometris: Obey the preview preference at start-up.
Mines: Fix a crasher involving multiple simultaneous button clicks.
gnome-games 2.12.0
==================
Here it is! The shiny new stable release of gnome-games.
Those of you following the testing releases will only notice two
changes: The handling of mouse movement with the buttons down in Mines
has been improved and the French docs for Aisleriot are all installed
properly.
For those of you who like your software bug-free, this is what has changed:
General:
- Lots of UI tweaks, thanks to Dennis Cranston tireless attention to detail.
- Slightly better UI for network games.
- Better use of stock items for menus and toolbars.
Aisleriot:
- Stacks of cards that run off the bottom of the screen are squeezed
up to make them fit.
- Cards you can drop other cards onto are hilighted (Vincent Povirk did
all the hard work for this one).
- Three new games: Backbone, Carpet and Triple Peaks.
- Double clicking foundation cards triggers auto-move, very useful for
finishing up games like Klondike (not universally supported).
- Fullscreen mode.
Four in a Row:
- Nice (SVG) default graphics from Alan Horkan.
- A new game starts the moment the program is launched.
Gnometris:
- Now uses the new high scores dialog.
Iagno:
- Starts a new game the moment the program starts.
- Removed the clock - it was useless.
Mahjongg:
- If you click on a second tile and it doesn't match the first we now
select that one as the new first tile rather than telling you off.
- Fullscreen mode.
- Display the current game in the title bar.
Mines:
- Using the left button on a cleared square is now like using the middle
button. This makes the game a lot easier for those with an awkward middle
button. All the old buttons still work, so no one should be disadvantaged.
- The first click is now guaranteed to clear a useful number of squares:
no more clicking randomly to find a gap.
- When you click on a mine you now get an explosion.
Robots:
- Remove the specialised key sets. The left-hand key set only worked with
US keyboards and anyone who is old school enough to use the traditional
keys knows how to customise them.
Same GNOME:
- A "Fast Animation" mode for the impatient.
- Better grid and background colours.
Stones:
- The level you last played is remembered properly.
- Remove all the scrolling options and replace it with one good scrolling
algorithm.
Tali:
- The word "Yahtzee" has been completely eliminated so there is absolutely
no chance of a trademark dispute.
Tetravex:
- Tiles get hilighted on mouse-over: just like any other widget.
Lots of people contributed to this release:
Callum McKenzie
Richard Hoelscher
Vincent Povirk
Dennis Cranston
Alan Horkan
Peter Moulder
Clytie Siddall
and all the other people who reported bugs and provided patches and
gave generous feedback but for whom my record keeping has failed
miserably to keep track of.
And also of course the translation team.
gnome-games 2.11.5
==================
This is the final release candidate for 2.12. Testing this release is
strongly encouraged. It should compile on a GNOME 2.10 system without
any extra libraries.
As usual there are no new features, however there are some things that
need attention:
- Aisleriot drawing code: there has been a change here that is rather
drastic for this late in the release cycle. Any drawing glitches
should be filed as bugs. When reporting the bug please describe
exactly what you were doing, the game played, and how many cards you
were dragging. Screenshots won't go amiss either.
- The aisleriot statistics dialog: if I haven't got the autoconf
magic right then the close button on this dialog may
fail. Alternatively configure may fail. In either case I am interested
in reports of this, espeically on Fedora core 3 and core 4 systems.
- Once again, aisleriot: there is a strange crash that happens very
infrequently. I have seen it myself, but not managed to get a good
stack trace. Anyone who has debugging symbols turned on and
experiences a crash -please report it. It will occur while, or shortly
after dragging some cards.
All other crashes should also be reported.
gnome-games 2.11.4
==================
This release is the second beta release of gnome-games in preparation
for GNOME 2.12. There are no new features, only bug-fixes,
documentation updates and translation updates.
gnome-games 2.11.3
==================
This is the user-interface freeze release of gnome-games. Most of the
changes have been bug-fixes.
General:
- Slightly streamlined build process (callum).
Aisleriot:
- Improvements to the card dropping code (callum and Peter Moulder).
- UI cleanups (Dennis Cranston).
- Stop the rules being changed mid-game (callum).
- Help for games with multi-word names should work in French locales (callum).
Ataxx:
- Clarify the rules (rah).
- Fix some drawing glitches (callum).
Mahjongg:
- Documentation XML fixup (Peter Moulder).
Mines:
- UI tweaks (Dennis Cranston)
- It will now compile when optimisation is turned off.
Same Gnome:
- UI tweaks (Dennis Cranston)
Stones:
- The level you last played is now remembered between games. You can
also start at any level, not just the pre-defined ones (callum).
Games Server:
- The games-server program now behaves like a real Unix daemon (callum).
- Fix a typo in the schema descriptions (Clytie Siddall).
gnome-games 2.11.2
==================
This is the feature-freeze release of gnome-games. These are the
major, user-visible, changes:
Aisleriot:
- Three new games: Carpet (almost completely pointless) and Backbone (not
pointless at all) from Vincent Povirk. Triple Peaks from Richard
Hoelscher.
- Hilighting of valid drop targets not works for all games where it
makes sense (Vincent Povirk).
- Scores are hidden for games where it doesn't make sense (rah).
Four in a Row:
- New SVG graphics from Alan Horkan. The classic and high contrast
themes has been updated and a new High Contrast Inverse theme has been
added. Both of these accessibility themes now match the GNOME themes
of the same name (Alan Horkan).
- Subtle grid-drawing improvements (callum).
- Some of the themese have changed names (Alan Horkan).
Mahjongg:
- Display the current game in the title-bar.
Tali:
- The phrase "Yahtzee" has been replaced with "5 of a kind". It
doesn't sound as sexy, but it is more obvious what it means and
it isn't a trademark (rah, callum).
Plus lots of bug fixes, code cleanups, api modernisation, and -of
course- the tireless work of the translation team.
gnome-games 2.11.1
==================
Finally, a very belated 2.11.x entry for gnome-games. A lot has changed
and I've probably missed a few things, but here are the main points:
General:
- (Slightly) improved UI for starting network games.
- Lots of HIG-conformance tweaks leading to nicer dialogs.
- Use of modern APIs and stock items, once again giving a nicer feel
to the UI.
Aisleriot:
- Per-game options work again. e.g. Klondike has the option for 3-card deals.
- Valid places to drop cards are now hilighted (only on some games).
- Dropping cards in the right place is now easier.
- Double-clicking the foundation in Klondike auto-moves cards to the
foundatione. Very useful at the end of the game.
- Fullscreen mode.
- Gay Gordons is guaranteed to be solvable.
- Long card lists are automatically expand and contract to fit the window.
Four in a row:
- A new game starts the moment the prgram is launched.
Gometris:
- Use the new high-scores dialog.
Iagno:
- Start a new game when the program loads.
- Removed the clock, it was useless.
Mahjongg:
- Rather than assuming clicking on a second, mismatched, tile was a mistake,
assume that the player wants to select it as the first of a different pair.
- Fullscreen mode.
Mines:
- Using the left button on a cleared square is now like using the middle
button. This makes the game a lot easier for those with an awkward middle
button.
- The first click is guaranteed to clear a "useful" number of squares so you
don't have to blindly click and hope you don't hit a mine.
- An explosion graphic is drawn on a mine if you set it off.
Robots:
- Remove the specialised key sets.
Same GNOME:
- Fast animation mode for those who are impatient.
- Better grid, background and cursor colours.
Stones:
- Allow only one scrolling technique. Improve the quality of the scrolling.
Tali:
- UI tweaks: the dice area behaves like a toolbar wth prelight hilighting
and the like.
Tetravex:
- Tiles get hilighted on mouse-over. i.e. the behave just like any other
GTK component.
And of course a lot of bug fixes and code cleanups.

that these directories will be conditionally removed (based on reference
counts), regardless of the value of PKG_CONFIG. Bump the PKGREVISION
for packages that were modified as a result.
as the INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts no longer distinguish between
the two types of files. Drop SUPPORT_FILES{,_PERMS} and modify the
packages in pkgsrc accordingly.
Only update the MASTER_SITES and HOMEPAGE and add a new CONFLICTS line
for pioneers, which will be added as soon as there is a stable version
of pioneers available.
Nothing really changed, but you couldn't get the distfile from any
sourceforge site, due too the name change of the project.
I'm now the maintainer of this package, for the time till pioneers is ready
to be added.

file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables. Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.
For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.
