Ubuntu package of the client published: Link to sources

[bugmenot]

Hello,
thanks for your help in the forum and on IRC I finally have been able to create a debian package for Ubuntu 9.04.

It has been published on the Ubuntu gaming page playdeb.net:
http://www.playdeb.net/updates/PlaneShift

The art is not included in the package with respect to its license.
It has to be downloaded manually by the updater (which is also included in the package beside the client).

To also respect the GPL license of the code I explicitely mention the location of the sources here.
Also because some changes had to be made to the code.

The sources are avaiable here:
http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb/ubuntu/pool/games/p/planeshift/

To get it download the tarball and the diff.gz file and untar the tarball.
Then cd into the created directory and run:

Code: [Select]

zcat ../*.diff.gz | patch -p1
This should create the debian directory which is required for packaging.
The patches which are applied to the source before compiling are in the debian/patches
directory.

If you want the package to be changed somehow or have updated the client so a new package is required feel free
to drop a bug in launchpad about this: https://launchpad.net/getdeb.net/+filebug
I am not checking this forum very frequently but I will immediately be informed about a new bug when you file one in launchpad.

Thanks for your help again making this possible.
I hope the package helps you to get some new players.
