[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 931181] Re: Multiplayer network games are unreachable

[Ian Weisser]

Tried the new 11.2.2 deb from Debian Sid in Ubuntu 12.04 - install
failure (unmet dependency). That's obviously a different bug, and I'll
track that down, but I couldn't test the fix in that deb.

Then I tried building from the Debian git repo. I confirmed that the
source included the fix commit. It built and ran in Ubuntu 12.04...but
Simutrans still failed to connect to multiplayer games, and with the
same original pakset-doesn't-match error. The attached tarball contains
the source and resulting debs.

Both tries used the simutrans-pak64 from Debian Sid.

I'm happy to keep testing, and happy to try some other .deb.

Title:
  Multiplayer network games are unreachable

Status in “simutrans” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  A multiplayer game served from the Debian/Ubuntu package can only be
  joined by clients running the same package. A manually installed same-
  version of Simutrans cannot join the game. This locks out players on
  other platforms.

  Similarly, a game served by a non-package version of Simutrans cannot
  be joined by the Debian/Ubuntu packaged client. This locks us out of
  everyone else's games.

  To reproduce this problem using Simutrans 110.0.1 (In the Ubuntu 11.10
  repos):

  1) Install the simutrans and simutrans-pak64 packages.

  2) Manually install the *same* release version and pak64 to a separate directory.
  Manual download page: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=7025.0

  3) Start two instances of simutrans server. One each from the package-
  install and from the manual-install.

  $ simutrans -server 13353
  $ manual/simutrans/simutrans -server 13354

  4) Try to join to each server from the package-installed client:

  $ simutrans
  Join to game on port 13353 - success
  Join to game on port 13354 - fail

  5) Try to join to each server from the manually-installed client:

  $ manual/simutrans/simutrans
  Join - to game on port 13353 fail
  Join - to game on port 13354 success
