Title: More Packages
Post by: Punkie on November 17, 2010, 01:12:27 pm

The  download (http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Download) page mentions ubuntu packages and sourceforge contains deb packages (for ubuntu?). There are more of course out there, eg pclinuxos has it in its repos (only 2.2.1 afaik).
For fedora there seem to be some troubles (http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=2334.0) but the  rpmfusion project (http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/updates/14/x86_64/repoview/games.group.html) hosts the latest rpm packages for fedora and can be added to the download page. Does ufoai still contains material with unsettling licenses?

And i hope "Creative Commons Sampling Plus" will be removed soon. We can remove the last CC-SP music, but 6 sound effects are still missing.

I add RPM Fusion, but it looks to only provide binaries? do you know if the package auto download the game content ?

The link given in the first post was for the binaries. There is also a package for the game data at the source directory. There is also an rpm with the code source on the same page.

Via the homepage you can browse the content of the repos. Note that the links given are for Fedora14. For previous fedora versions there are other rpms. Mind also the architecture, for i386 they built a different set of rpms:

Note that it is for users way easier to just add the repo and update via their yum/apt backend. This is the howto (http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration).

A little complex to me, a ufoai group would be usefull... or a search engine

How about this for the download page?

The RPM Fusion repo contains UFO:AI releases. Check RPM Fusion configuration page (http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration) to setup your package manager to install it.
DIY installation:
Fedora 14, x86_64: Install binaries (http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/updates/14/x86_64/repoview/ufoai.html) + game data (http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/14/Everything/source/SRPMS/repoview/ufoai-data.html). View the source code (http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/14/Everything/source/SRPMS/repoview/ufoai.html).
Fedora 14, i386: Install binaries (http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/updates/14/i386/repoview/ufoai.html) + game data (http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/14/Everything/source/SRPMS/repoview/ufoai-data.html). View the source code (http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/14/Everything/source/SRPMS/repoview/ufoai.html).

Actually installing ufoai in fedora is quite staight forward.
First you need to add rpmfusion repos to your packet manager config. (if you haven't done it yet)
You need to dl and install those two rpms:
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Then it's enough to install ufoai package
For exapmle if you're using yum, type in console as root:
    

Code: [Select]

yum install ufoai
That's all, all the nessesary packages will be installed as dependencies of main ufoai package.
Source package is for those who want to build rpms on their own (to tweak complier options, add some extra patches and so on)
