#1261090 — Bug#1088176: ITP: jazz2-native -- Native engine for the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 video game

Hi Antoine,

Why did you called it jazz2....native.... ?

Is it to allow co-existence with an existiing package generated with play.it ?

I guess play-it should be fixed instead, and more generaly
the packages generated by play.it & game-data-packager need
to adadapt to the packages in the official namespace.

We haven't had many name colision so far, which is nice.

The package generated with fheroes2-pkg was smoothly
replaced with the native one from fheroes2.

Could jazz2 do the same thing and replace the play.it package ?

Greetings

Alexandre

Because it’s the name used upstream, I did not look further than that.
If I were to prepare the package today, I would probably call it jazz2.

No, when this happens I always change the name of the packages generated
by ./play.it.

An update to the ./play.it games collection providing support for Jazz
Jackrabbit 2 is already pending, to rely on this new package instead of
shipping a copy of the Jazz² Resurrection engine, once it gets through
the NEW queue.

Thank you very much to take the time to check & answer
this very clear explanation.

I'm also waiting for the package in the NEW queue.

Greetings
