They release the source code for Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”49″>

Ye are many gamers who are not sure you will be over this week’s news that Disney has decided to close LucasArts. As they say, every cloud has a silver lining and Activision and Raven Software have released the source code Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy .

500x313 lucasarts release the source code for Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy

The story is told

our fellow MuyComputer, where we recall that both games are based on the graphics engine id Software , id Tech 3, used in titles such as Quake III. The first Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, dates from 2002, the second Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, the following year (attention because arrive shortly after Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2, two authentic past. Will the next to be “liberated”? wish).

LucasArts

is certainly an editor with classics behind from the likes of Maniac Mansion, The Secret of Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis or Maniac Mansion Day of the Tentacle ( memories that bring me these titles!), although the latter times have survived by Star Wars, and as his new owner, Disney, it’s not going to “survive” because the closure has taken.

In any case, we may see a Linux port for the two games released , who knows. For now you can download the source code if you wish, in MuyComputer find links. A small video to remember:

Non-LTS versions of Ubuntu reduce support time in half … and no rolling release

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”40″>

Any news about Ubuntu and its release cycles discarded move to rolling release model and non-LTS versions are left with half time support, 18 to 9 months . This was decided by the Ubuntu Technical Board, as told in The H Open.

ubuntu1 LTS versions of Ubuntu will not reduce support time in half ... and no rolling release

As you know, the debate about the “times” of Ubuntu has been a hot topic in recent weeks, but at least one thing has already been decided: no version rolling release . On the contrary, what arises is now reduced time of normal versions support half. For what purpose? The offer updated packages in their own upgrades.

apparently support time to save what used to test newer versions of packages to deliver them to the public. That is, the updates received in those nine months will not only security , as has always been, but include new versions of packages . In the coming weeks detailing all changes.

non-LTS versions published and kept as 18 months of support and LTS five years, in both cases, needless to say, only security updates.

Ubuntu, Mir, rolling release, community … [Updated]

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”65″>

controversy over Ubuntu still open. Ingredients: Mir, rolling relase and ‘the community ‘. We will try to synthesize information as possible to facilitate understanding, because there is little that has been published so far and it seems that things are not going to be quiet (all links in this entry are required reading if is that we want to have all the data).

500x333 Ubuntu units, Mir, rolling release, community ... [Updated]

First, rolling release, yes or no? Latest news pointed to the proposal remained on the table, however Mark Shuttleworth is not convinced by the idea too , although he is open to review the release cycles whenever there is consensus. In short, there will be no rolling release for now (you really surprised because someone was not a 4.13 RR ?).

But Shuttleworth spoke much more in his blog in a lengthy article that has not allowed comments. For example refers to discontent on the part of the Ubuntu community , which has not liked the secrecy for Canonical’s latest projects as Mir, the new graphical server . Muktware This article summarizes the situation and gives foremost sources among which has once again Jonathan Riddell, leading developer of Kubuntu, which is quite active lately with his statements.

In fact, Riddell just answered a phrase-and something else-Shuttleworth in which he stated “I have absolutely no doubt that will work well on Mir KWin “, which Riddell says: “ I wonder why not you use KWin then, since after all it will work well with Mir and is based on Q t”. He continues: “But I have doubts that KWin works well with Mir and I’ve said so. You should check the facts before launching such assertions “. He continues with some recriminations towards Shuttleworth / Canonical summarized in ignorance of KWin , any contributions to KWin and no contact with the developers of KWin.

There’s more: “I have to ask you to KWin let off the campaign pro-Mir. I did not ask Mir, Mir and and do not want to read articles like the one that has provoked this response lowers my motivation to have something to do with Mir. Mir is an answer to a question nobody asked. It is a solution to a problem that does not exist. “Some pretty harsh statements for who until recently was an employee of Canonical , but that is why they are quite juicy (there are many more” players “who have joined and this function would be endless, but it is worth recalling what Martin also said Grasslin, KWin maintainer).

unrest in the ‘Ubuntu community’ is obviously beyond the Mir-KWin dilemma, and it speaks Jono Bacon, Ubuntu community manager, usually such a pretty diplomatic and as has again demonstrated. I leave you with what is published on the subject in Libuntu, in one and two articles sum it all pretty well.

What is it? In a situation somewhat blurred that only time will clarify. Or not.

[Updated]

As we indicate in the comments, I have returned to mess up (once again!) and Riddell statements are not yours, but Martin Grasslin , KWin maintainer, that Riddell republic of integrity in his blog, I suppose, to show support.
