openarena-server (0.8.8-10) experimental; urgency=low openarena-server configuration has changed in this version for better systemd support. The DAEMON_OPTS variable in /etc/default/openarena-server no longer contains a configurable "+exec" command. /etc/openarena-server/server.cfg will always be executed in addition to whatever is specified in DAEMON_OPTS, and the default DAEMON_OPTS is now empty. The START_DAEMON variable in /etc/default/openarena-server is no longer supported. If openarena-server was previously disabled via START_DAEMON, upgrading to this version will run "update-rc.d openarena-server disable" to disable it in the correct way. systemd users can now enable additional instances of the server, openarena-server@INSTANCE.service, which use /etc/default/openarena-server@INSTANCE and /etc/openarena-server/INSTANCE.cfg instead. See /usr/share/doc/openarena-server/README.Debian for details. -- Simon McVittie Thu, 05 Feb 2015 11:04:07 +0000 openarena-server (0.8.8-1) experimental; urgency=low In the Debian packaging for OpenArena 0.8.1 and 0.8.5, the openarena package depended on the openarena-server package, and the openarena-server package did not run a server by default. Since OpenArena 0.8.8, the openarena package no longer depends on openarena-server. New installations of openarena-server will run a server from the init script by default. The upgrade from 0.8.5 to 0.8.8 attempts to detect whether the server was enabled. If it was not, it creates a file "/var/games/openarena-server/init-script-disabled-by-upgrade"; if that file exists, the init script does not start the server. You can restore normal behaviour by deleting it. This special upgrade behaviour is likely to be removed after Debian 7 is released, so if you do not intend to run an OpenArena dedicated server, please remove the openarena-server package before upgrading to Debian 8. -- Simon McVittie Sun, 26 Feb 2012 20:16:04 +0000
