Description Hans de Goede 2013-04-06 14:46:50 UTC

Spec URL: http://people.fedoraproject.org/~jwrdegoede/fbg.spec
SRPM URL: http://people.fedoraproject.org/~jwrdegoede/fbg-0.9.1-13.fc20.src.rpm
Description:
Move and rotate variously shaped falling blocks to make them form a complete
row. Once a complete row has formed it will disappear. If you make incomplete
rows the screen will fill up and when it reaches the top the game is over.

Note: this is a re-review to for undeprecating fbg. I'm the original packager of fbg and handed it over to lower my package load, only to later found out it got orphaned (and I missed this), so now I want to get it back into Fedora.

Note2: For play-testing make sure you've libmikmod >= 3.2.0-21

Hans, I've seen that fbg is quite old and unmaintained. In fact, the last update was in 2002! 

Anyway it seems that upstream was quite active with a rewrite called fbg2 and it is already packaged for Fedora. 

Do you still wish to have fbg in Fedora?

Well, with games it is often if it works and is complete, then it works :)

This OTOH is a good reason to not keep fbg around. I've filed a bug for
adding Obsoletes and Provides fbg to fbg2 so that people who have fbg
and are upgrading to F-19+ automatically get fbg2. See bug 949506.
