Re: The scandalous status of linux

=If you can not find it, tell emulation about
your problem.

Just a reminder, that SDL-using Linux-executables, which
broke on -stable in 
some time in June, are still broken with the kernel from
September 16. A game 
called "civctp" used to start up and play just
fine, but now hangs on 
start-up -- at least, on amd64.

Just tried changing the level of Linux emulation -- still
hangs.

Although the commercial version of the game was only
available to paying 
customers, the freely available demo version shows the same
problem.

=Be prepared to do some guided debugging.

Checking out the games/civ2demo from the Attic is far easier
for a developer 
to do, than rebuilding a kernel (even once) is for a regular
user.

It's not only about easy/hard, it's also about resources
(e.g. a  
-stable machine and/or time).

Well, if you don't have a -stable machine to test on, how do
you do /any/ 
development on -stable?

If you need more time -- would you like a formal PR filed on
this matter?
