Um, why do the debs' file names begin with love_0.6.2 and not _0.7.0?

Posted: **Sat Sep 18, 2010 7:09 pm**

Not because I screwed up, that's because it would only create problems with apt if I were to name it 0.7.0, also, it is not 0.7.0 yet. They are however the right build.

I built the Linux source successfully on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with an AMD 64-bit processor. It runs. I saw the new "no game" screen.

It also runs the demos from Windows version 0.6.2, except that there are bunch of complaints about some audio service thingy. They don't prevent the sinescroller or passsingclouds from playing music, though. It prints this on the console:

Code: Select all

bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
AL lib: ALc.c:1818: alcCloseDevice(): deleting 32 Buffer(s)

I can do more testing tomorrow. I've seen the OpenAL library complain the same in other circumstances, so I suppose that's not a problem. I'll look at where that other complaint is coming from, though.

(Yeah, the no.love demo also looks wonky, because you changed the font origin. But we knew that'd happen.)

Yeah, sorry for the lack of packages, launchpad delayed the amd64 builds for 2 hours :S, the audio messages are related to bluez-alsa, and are nothing to worry about, basically it complains about there not being bluetooth audio devices.. yeah, like you'd need those.

GDebi says this is an older version than 0.6.2.

Posted: **Sat Sep 18, 2010 8:34 pm**

Woooh!

Also, wouldn't 0.6.9 be more appropriate than 0.6.2 as a name for the 0.7.0 beta? Since it's a whole frakkin' different release.

It's 0.6.2r<revnum>!

@Tesselode: Yeah, sorry, that was because someone else (rude!) failed to give the old 0.6.2 package a good version number.

I used to have that before as well. It doesn't affect anything, but removing the package bluez-alsa also removes those error messages.

I said it before, I'll reiterate.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

No problems I've found. Just have to fix all the text offsets but really nice! Can't wait to explore the new stuff more.
