[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 202327] Re: freeciv package descriptions don't explain the differences between the clients

[KarlGoetz]

Perhaps someone could find out if sdl/xaw3d are still being developed. I've been told that gtk is the only actively developed client (the others are just maintained). that sounds like something relevant to include in the description.
Omer, if you can provide a diff against the debian/control file I'll apply it in git for 2.1.10-2.
thanks,
kk

Status in “freeciv” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: freeciv

Freeciv 2.1.3-1 has separate packages for the sdl, gtk and xaw3d clients. The package descriptions do not say what the differences are between them. 

The package descriptions are identical except for the line "This is the SDL version of the Freeciv client.". This relies on the end user knowing what SDL and GTK are, and that they will get a better graphical performance from the SDL client. 

The descriptions should say what the different clients actually are.
