[upgrade] sdlmame new upstream 0.129

This is the .diff file for the new upstream release - sdlmame 0.128.

To build the source package use

zcat sdlmame_0.129-0ubuntu1.diff.gz | patch -p0
cd sdlmame-0.129
chmod +x debian/rules
debian/rules get-orig-source
mv sdlmame_0.129.orig.tar.gz ../
cd ..
tar xvfz sdlmame_0.129.orig.tar.gz

and the source tree should be in
sdlmame-0.129

Compiled binaries are available on my PPA as well:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~c.falco/+archive

I guess this could be the last stable release before FF. Please upload it! :)

Thanks,
Cesare.

Could anyone please sponsor sdlmame 0.129?
Feature Freeze is approaching and I'm concerned it could miss it... :)

Thanks!
Cesare.

Can you explain these changes in the changelog (I cannot tell why some of them were made):

- ARCHOPTS=-march=pentium-mmx \
+ ARCHOPTS=-march=pentium2 \

-Standards-Version: 3.7.3
+Standards-Version: 3.8.0

-Architecture: i386 amd64 lpia powerpc
+Architecture: i386 amd64 powerpc

(two of these)

--- sdlmame-0.128/debian/contrib/manpages/sdlmame.1
+++ sdlmame-0.129/debian/contrib/manpages/sdlmame.1

--- sdlmame-0.128/debian/contrib/config/mame.ini
+++ sdlmame-0.129/debian/contrib/config/mame.ini

--- sdlmame-0.129.orig/debian/sdlmame.conffiles
+++ sdlmame-0.129/debian/sdlmame.conffiles

Also,

+ if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "0.128u7"; then
+ rm -rf /etc/sdlmame/joymap.dat

this should only be run on upgrade, not install. No need for -r either.

Please resubscribe the sponsors once you've made these changes. Thanks.

Here's some explanation:

> - ARCHOPTS=-march=pentium-mmx \
> + ARCHOPTS=-march=pentium2 \
sdlmame requires fast machines or it runs so slow it's unusable; optimization for i686 offers some performance improvement (comment put in changelog)

> -Standards-Version: 3.7.3
> +Standards-Version: 3.8.0
prevents lintian from complaining with the following warning:
W: sdlmame source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.7.3 (current is 3.8.0)

> -Architecture: i386 amd64 lpia powerpc
> +Architecture: i386 amd64 powerpc
lpia architecture is not supported upstream (comment put in changelog)

> --- sdlmame-0.128/debian/contrib/manpages/sdlmame.1
> +++ sdlmame-0.129/debian/contrib/manpages/sdlmame.1
> --- sdlmame-0.128/debian/contrib/config/mame.ini
> +++ sdlmame-0.129/debian/contrib/config/mame.ini
> --- sdlmame-0.129.orig/debian/sdlmame.conffiles
> +++ sdlmame-0.129/debian/sdlmame.conffiles
configuration file "joymap.dat" removed upstream, above are related changes:
manpage: documented new command option; removed reference to joymap.dat
mame.ini: removed reference to joymap.dat
sdlmame.conffiles: removed reference to joymap.dat
(already documented in changelog)

fixed

Successfully built on my ppa:

(I had to rename it 0ubuntu2 to avoid version clash)

Thank you!
Cesare.

This bug was fixed in the package sdlmame - 0.129-0ubuntu1

---------------
sdlmame (0.129-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release - Closes (LP: #318304)
  * Removed obsolete contributed files related to joystick configuration
  * FIX: Don't build for lpia architecture (unsupported upstream)
  * FIX: Increased build optimizations to -pentium2 (sdlmame wouldn't run
    at decent speed on slower machines anyway)
