Bug Description

Binary package hint: frozen-bubble

By default the nickname (if none given) is truncated to 10 characters (see sanitize_nick function). However, when creating a LAN server, the prefix "lan-" is added. Thus if the username is longer than 10 (mine is 15) it gets truncated to 10 characters plus the 4 of the server prefix.
However, when creating a LAN server, you get an error because the server name is longer than 12 characters.

I have created a small patch that truncate the name to 8 characters instead. So user can play LAN game.

I am going to upload the patch in the next screen, and I will also report the bug upstream.

Huygens, thank you for your bug report.

You attached the whole file instead of a diff showing the differences between the original file and your modified one. Given that frozen-bubble has changed since your original bug report, that file is obsolete, and is very hard to find the differences you applied to the original file.

Please, attach here a diff showing only the changes you suggest to deploy in frozen-bubble, so that we can fix this bug.

  * frozen-bubble: in sanitize_nick, nick is truncated to 8 chars to avoid an
    error when starting a LAN server (LP: #96460)
  * Modify Maintainer value to match the DebianMaintainerField
    specification.
