Packaging/SuSE

If you're a SUSE User, you don't have to worry about Installation, not even about upgrades!

This Tutorial is based on YAST2, but if you're using another package manager within SUSE Linux / openSUSE, you probably figure out how to do it.

Steps to get UFO:AI Installed

Open YAST2 as superuser
Choose Sotware in the left menu and Installation source in the right pane
Add the following repository:

Type: HTTP - Servername: download.opensuse.org - Directory: repositories/games/<SUSE_Version>/
   For the moment, <SUSE_Version> can be one of
   * openSUSE_10.2
   * openSUSE_10.3
   * openSUSE_Factory

In latest SUSE versions you can add repository URL, which is faster and easier to do. Just add the URL :

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/<SUSE_Version>/

There are even some mirrors around, so in case you experiance bad speed when installing the game (especially on the data blob), try to point to a mirror. Normally, there should be no need for this, as download.opensuse.org is redirecting to international mirrors for downloads.

Confirm possible appearing dialogs about GPG Keys (The repository is signed for your security)
Click Finish (this might take a while, especially on SUSE Linux >= 10.1)
Go to Software Management
In the searchbox, enter ufoai, then click search
UFO:Alien Invasion is shown as a result (three hits, including map and music files). Select the package ufoai
Click Accept (This will start the Dependency check and automatically select ufoai-data and possible other packages.
The game will be installed (maybe you even have to insert the installation CD of SUSE Linux)

When this step is done, you can leave YaST and start UFO: Alien Invasion from the Startmenu. You should find it in Games/Strategy

Commandline installation using smart (apt-like package manager):

su
smart channel --add games type=rpm-md name="games" baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/<SUSE_Version see above>
smart update
smart install ufoai

Have a lot of Fun!
