https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2379721 Bug ID: 2379721 Summary: Review Request: openmw - OpenMW is an open-source game engine Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: inquiries@xxxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Spec URL: https://git.chapien.net/chapien/openmw-rpm/raw/branch/main/openmw.spec SRPM URL: http://home-server.tail4bbdd1.ts.net:3025/chapien/openmw-rpm/raw/branch/main/SRPMS/openmw-0.49.0-4.fc42.src.rpm Description: OpenMW is an open-source game engine based on Bethesda's Elder Scrolls III Morrowind. Fedora Account System Username: chapien Some details on the package, since I'm sure there will be questions in this area. First, what is openMW? OpenMW is a game engine. Originally, it was made to play the proprietary video game "Elder Scrolls III Morrowind" on Linux and other non-Windows platforms natively. It evolved into an entire engine replacement project, making it the preferred way to play the game even on Windows. This would imply that the game requires proprietary data to run. However, this is no longer the case. OpenMW has evolved into an entire game engine in its own right. Game projects have been created in openmw-cs (the construction set), requiring absolutely no proprietary code or assets from the original Morrowind. Upstream provides sample data files that can substitute Morrowind's, allowing the launcher to function even without Morrowind itself. Of course, the engine is still primarily used to run Morrowind at this time, but like another package we include, Stratagus, it can do more. Upstream's website: https://openmw.org/ Next, I want to pre-emptively explain some of the decisions made in the build process. I am statically linking three libraries, and for good reason. First, I am statically linking bullet3, a library we do provide. This is because openMW requires bullet to be built with Double Precision, and our own package is built with float precision. I was advised by the bullet3 Fedora maintainers that statically linking would be appropriate in this use-case. Second, I am statically linking OpenSceneGraph, a package we do provide. Upstream (openMW) has their own fork of OpenSceneGraph, which provides optimizations and improved framerate for openMW specifically. Statically linking their version of OSG simply made sense to me. The repo is here: https://github.com/OpenMW/osg Finally, RecastNavigation is something we do not package; Godot Engine, a package we do provide, seems to statically link RecastNavigation as well, so there is precedent. In addition, by default OpenMW statically links Recast rather than dynamically, which implies to me that this is preferred by upstream.
