Yay for Linux users!

[Tyden]

Just got this email this morning that had this at the bottom. This is a goooooood thing:

\"The Linux package is ready and will be out with patch 008. \"

Hopefully this means i can actually PLAY. Thanks to everyone working on the project.

For any interested Gentoo/Linux users, I have packaged several programs related to Planeshift:

All of these packages are currently available to \'~x86\' users.

[Currently masked, glibc(?) problems fixed in CVS]
* crystalspace - 0.96_r003 release of CrystalSpace SDK
* cel - 0.96_r001 release of CrystalSpace Entity Layer

[Recommended]
* crystalspace-cvs - CVS ebuild for CrystalSpace
* cel-cvs - CVS ebuild for CrystalSpace Entity Layer

[Planeshift Binary Package - CVS ebuilds not required for this]
* planeshift-bin - Planeshift 0.2.006 release (deprecated)


I have spoken to Talad about putting source tarball releases of Planeshift on the website so that I can get rid of the planeshift-bin package and replace it with simply a \'planeshift\' package. Please look forward to this when 0.2.008 is released!

I\'m going to be actively maintaining these packages (likely minus the planeshift-bin unless enough people would like me to do so), so if you have any problems with them, please feel free to contact me directly at malverian@NOSPAM.gentoo.org or file a bug on http://bugs.gentoo.org and it will be assigned to me.

I\'d appreciate you input and reports on success stories as well as not so successful ones.

thanks malverian!!

btw: i still don\'t see any linux client on the download page

[malverian]

The Linux binary package is available from the sourceforge.net project page: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/planeshift/

Simply go to the \"Files\" section, and download it from there.
If you are a Gentoo user, all that is required is to type \"emerge planeshift-bin\"

A new version .008 is coming out supposedly today, I suggest you wait for that, as it will come out in source form and with an updater to automatically fetch the needed data/art files.

I will have an ebuild for this source version with accompanying snapshots of crystalspace and cel as soon as it is released, look forward to a follow up post concerning my progress.

Gentoo + Planeshift = much sweetness!!!
Yea!

I made the binary package from Gentoo  ;-p

how about a CVS ebuild for gentoo? ...that would help a lot, since the binary releases are pretty slow
