Linux Packages
Just getting a poll of various package systems in use by your distro.
Just after did quick check & should be able to make a source rpm.
Still need to find docs on making a source debian package.
Anyway plz vote in poll which one your distro uses i.e deb / rpm / ebuild / other. If other plz post what it is thx
Plz Note the source packages will use the tagged releases source tarballs @ https://developer.berlios.de/project/sh ... up_id=4358
Havent checked if i can get rpms / deb to grab source files off svn yet

Rather not send tvo topic on setting up datadirs off topic
Source Packages instead of normal ones. Cause i dont have harddrive space / bandwidth / time. To build packages for every distro under the earth.
Source deb / Source rpm's will work for majority of distros. Less work to maintain a single deb & a single rpm. Only download for user is waiting till it compiles.
Its setup will be same as gentoo ebuilds

- Install into /usr/share/games/taspring-linux-<version>
Setup /etc/spring/datadir
Setup AI's confs
Add any missing files

Re: Linux Packages
I think everything on berlios has major sync problems with Linux. Take a look here.hollowsoul wrote:Plz Note the source packages will use the tagged releases source tarballs @ https://developer.berlios.de/project/sh ... up_id=4358

Yup, works pretty good. It's designed to convert packages to deb, but it can output other formats, too. However, I've never tested this, but I think this shouldn't cause much of a problem.Tobi wrote:HAARP, do you have experience with Alien, does it actually create quality packages?
The only thing is that there's a "Converted from blah by alien 8.xx" in the description of the new package. But every script, every file and every dependency will be in the new package. (Use -k -c)

I agree with tvo here, i die before i attempt static compiles.
I mean how far do u go ? Do u assume user got recent branch of glibc or an old ? How about SDL ? Or u want everything in a big excutable file...
Which will just end up using more ram.
Its hell of alot easy to throw together a source package.
Not to mention u can use your disto package manager to uninstall it later on, or upgrade it when using a newer one. == alot more user friendly
Anyway i get around to in awhile. Got other things want to get done first.
