[repology] OIS package : New official upstream release! (v 1.5)

[Arthur Brainville]

Hi guys!

Sorry for the mass-mail here. If you are receiving this message, it's 
because the Repology website indicates you (or your mailing list) as the 
maintainer of the OIS (Object-Oriented Input System) library for your 
respective distributions (GNU/Linux, BSD, mac-port). This is the first 
time for me writing this kind of notifications.

I am the new maintainer of the official repository, and I'm pleased to 
notify you of the release of the version 1.5 of the library!

For those who aren't aware, the project is now developed on GitHub at 
this address : https://github.com/wgois/OIS, not on the old Sourceforge 
page (if you go there, a message will notify you about this change.)

OIS had a quiet "transition" release called 1.4 just before a few 
*years* of pull request backlog were *actually* merged. (AFAIK only 
Arch-Linux picked up the update and built an official package, along a 
Slackware 3rd party repository)

Release information are available here: 
https://github.com/wgois/OIS/releases/tag/v1.5. Licensing did not 
change, this is a zlib library.

OIS is a input library designed for video-games and following the 
conventions of OGRE (the Object-Oriented Graphical Rendering Engine). It 
was often used to serve as the input management library for OGRE, and is 
an alternative to using libraires like SDL(2) and GLFW to use with a 
"native" X window, and get mouse, keyboard and joystick interactions 
with your program.

If you have automated the packaging of OIS, things have changed! OIS now 
uses CMake to generate it's build system. The build system builds a 
dynamic library, and 2 programs called "ConsoleApp" and "FFConsoleApp". 
These executable are unimportant and don't need to be installed, only 
the generated pkg-config and .so files should be installed on the user's 
system. (CMake generate an INSTALL target that take care of this).

If you encounter any problems with building OIS, do not hesitate to 
either contact me directly via email at ybalrid at ybalrid.info, or to open 
an issue on our official GitHub repository.

If by any mistake am not using the proper channel to send this message, 
please tell me (and eventually point me to the correct way of sending 
this kind of notice) so that I don't send any more spam your way... ;-)

Regards,
Arthur Brainville (Ybalrid)
