Here it is, packaged for Karmic and Hardy.

MAME 0.136u3

Thursday, 18th February 2010

SDLMAME is no more, let's move to the unified source!

The new MAME package(s) will replace older one seamlessy if you enabled the repository or decide to enable it now (why not? see instructions). After upgrading, you can safely remove the dummy transitional sdlmame/sdlmame-tools 0.136u3 packages.

If you don't want the repository enabled, open a terminal and follow these simple steps:

rename sdlmame local directory:
cd /usr/local/share/games
sudo mv sdlmame mame
purge old package(s) (of course, don't list sdlmame-tools if you didn't install it):
sudo dpkg --purge sdlmame sdlmame-tools
download and install new ones (again, ignore mame-tools if you don't need it):
sudo dpkg --install mame-common mame mame-tools

Packages ready for Karmic (9.10) and Hardy (8.04).

Work In Progress on Mame

Monday, 18th January 2010

As you probably know, SDLMAME is now part of the baseline tree. If you don't, please have a look at SDLMAME home page. This will require a lot of changes to the whole packaging process, and will take some time. I will probably skip a few intermediate release and come back with a new package built from Mame code. Please be patient, and stay tuned!
