I've got it built for F9/rawhide, but since it looks like 1.4 breaks saved
game compatibility, I'm not sure I'm going to build it for F-8.

Since you're not the first person to ask me about this, I'm CCing the rest
of the Games SIG.

SIG, what do you think? Build 1.4 for F-8, or leave it in rawhide?

I am not a regular Wesnoth player (just enjoy it from time to time in
single player mode), but from what I understand, network playing is a
very important reason people enjoy it.
AFAIK, to play on the official servers one must have to have the latest
version.


That should be weighted against the breaking of saved games. Don't know
which side of the balance should prevail, as I already said, I am not a
regular player.

Thank you!






There have been earlier updates for Wesnoth that also broke save-game
compatibility, and to my knowledge, it wasn't so much of a problem. I'd
like to have the latest available for F8 as well as for F9, I know I
wouldn't mind playing through the campaigns again, but I'm not sure
about other users... I wish there was a way to get more player awareness
of this... Maybe a poll in fedoraforum.org's gaming forum?

Although I'm not a wesnoth player, I vote for updating.

I have always avoided breaking Nazghul saved games in stable Fedora
releases, because the updates happen automatically and you don't want
users being broken overnight because they happened to let an update
happen.

I also work to make my upstream aware of this kind of thing, because
in their mind you just don't build a newer version if you have a game
in progress and that doesn't really mesh with how distros work. So
far they've been receptive and helpful.

If someone really wants new features, I'm happy to give them a koji
build they can install manually with the understanding that it breaks
their games. But overnight breakage of existing games is right out.

Sounds like all the feedback I need. I'll update for F-8.

Not in that case - average user wants network gaming but w/o this
update it will be impossible AFAIK. So every player would need to get
and install Koji build.

Even to preserve other existing functionality, i.e. network play?

FYI, it is now built in Koji, but I've not done a Bodhi update for it yet,
so the kittens are safe.

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=44545

Can any regular players comment? And possibly d/l the koji build and test
against their saved games? My assertion that 1.4 broke saved games is
based on anecdotal evidence, not direct observation.
