Does this patch even have a chance of being accepted upstream? Until it has been, there's not much chance of it being included, that's better handled in an AUR package.

Actually if you read the site you will find that previous version of this patch has already be included upstream. The only reason that this version of the patch has not been accepted upstream is the developer stopped work on rftg a year ago.

And if you check the rftg development form on Board Game Geek you will find that the current version of this patch was applied to a beta version of the upstream rftg, that was again never released because the developer gave up on the project.

A version built with the patch applied segfaults for me.

The segfault occurs because the campaign_name (passed with -c at the command line) is uninitialized
when strcmp is called. Very surprising that nobody else has run into this yet.

if (!strcmp(campaign_name, camp_library[i].name))

Still segfaults in 0.9.4q.
Comment by Jakob Gruber (schuay) - Thursday, 31 December 2015, 15:21 GMT
Updated 0.9.4q now starts fine.
