Description
gnome-games is outdated and has not been updated since GNOME 3.6. In the current GNOME 3.10 distribution, it has been replaced by individual packages for the games that have been carried forward. This is a good opportunity for developers wanting to contribute to MacPorts' GNOME3 coverage by contributing one or more of these missing ports.
Games provided by the current gnome-games port are
glines gnect gnobots2 (replaced by gnome-robots) gnomine (replaced by gnome-mines) gnotravex (replaced by gnome-tetravex) gnotski (replaced by gnome-klotski) gtali (replaced by tali) iagno (replaced by iagno)
Packages provided in the current GNOME 3.10 distribution are
aisleriot five-or-more four-in-a-row gnome-chess gnome-klotski gnome-mahjongg gnome-mines gnome-nibbles (gnibbles disabled in current gnome-games port) gnome-robots gnome-sudoku (disabled in current gnome-games port) gnome-tetravex iagno lightsoff quadrapassel (disabled in current gnome-games port) tali
The following games are obsolete, are not provided by GNOME 3.10 and will disappear when gnome-games is fully replaced
glines gnect
If you are interested in responding to this request, I suggest the following procedure
- Indicate your intent in a comment to this ticket
- Create a new port for your submission.
- To prevent a conflict, modify the existing gnome-games port to disable building of any outdated equivalent of your port, add your port in depends_run and revbump.
- Modify the existing gnome3-apps port by moving your port from the commented list of unported packages to depends_lib and revbump.
