Description of problem: OpenArena 0.7.1 does not come with the patch listed in the link below, when it installs you are not able to enter other OpenArena game servers due to (client/server mismatch basoa "not found"). ### You can download the patch from the following link: http://www.moddb.com/games/5727/openarena/downloads/8198/openarena-071-patch However it needs to be included in the yum repo's so you can perform a update of OpenArena and have the patch installed. Manually trying to install the patch has not been successful. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): OpenArena 0.7.1 downloaded from using 'yumex' in Fedora 7 and Fedora 8. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install OpenArena 2. Run OpenArena 3. Enter server and you receive error mismatch client/server maps/baseos ect not found... Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: If any further questions are needed please email me at grifs71 - Scott Griffin
This also affects Fedora 8 release, I have it installed on several machines and the patch is not included in the latest release. Thanks, Scott Griffin
I'm a bit surprise with the things you're writing about. I have openarena-0.7.1-3.fc8.x86_64 installed and everything works great. Have just tried to connect to some servers and no server gave me the mismatch error. In fact - it can't do so because patch you're linking to has been provided by the package for some time now. Give me a result of "rpm -q openarena openarena-data" command please.
Here is the results of my query: [scottg@WEREWOLF ~]$ rpm -q openarena openarena-data openarena-0.7.1-1.fc7 openarena-data-0.7.1-1.fc7 I have tried to install the patch but receive the client/server mismatch I am not sure if I need to uninstall and reinstall using yumex? Or if something I did wrong but I installed OpenArena using yumex so it would get all of the dependencies. thanks, scott
Check then whether file /usr/share/openarena/pak7-patch.pk3 exists. If it does, I'm afraid I have no idea what's wrong... You could also check if its md5sum is f2205b939999b98505bad65eba9f0784.
I will check it out thanks for the quick reply. Scott
This is a common problem with the current version release without the patch. http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1264.0 It is posted on this message board, however downloading the patch in Linux does not resolve the problem. I am not sure how the patch can be packaged in with the repo download using yumex or yum. If it was made a dependency it would resolve itself and not allow installation before the patch was installed. Thanks, Scott
(In reply to comment #6) > I am not sure how the patch can be packaged in with the > repo download using yumex or yum. But the patch _IS_ included in RPM. You can have a look at: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/*checkout*/devel/openarena/openarena.spec and see that Source4 is oa071-patch.zip - the file you linked to. As it can be seen, the file has been provided since 13th August 2007. What's more I've just run openarena and tried to play online. I received no error. The only thing that comes to my head you can do now is to check if pak7-patch.pk3 exists not only in /usr/share/openarena dir but also in your ~/.openarena/baseoa dir. It's possible that there's something wrong with the wrapper...
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
