Info on 0.3.011 Linux Client
« on: August 05, 2005, 06:58:11 am »
Platyna posted this reply on another thread and I thought I\'d post it here in case any of you hadn\'t seen it:

\"...Linux client will be available after short tests made by a closed group of users. I have made client packages for x86 and x86_64. One important notice: It will be first relased without the art, as a 39 megs file, so all the people who
has 3.010 please use its updater to get current art and then just wait a while....\"
 
So it sounds like the packages are actually built--probably just not tested yet.  Hopefully available to us soon!  :)

Those of you who lack the patience and/or technical prowess (like me) to build the client from CVS can at least download the artwork using the updater like Platyna suggests.  I\'d recommend commenting out the \"docs\" and \"root\" modules in your updaterconfig.xml file (in your ./planeshift directory).  Remember to run updater with the --auto option.  The 3.010 graphic updater is still buggy.  Takes no time at all with a cable modem.

From what I gather from Platyna\'s message it looks like we\'ll need to download and reinstall the Linux client once it\'s released.  Anyone with better info. please let me know!  :)

Peace,

Those who has the art from 3.010 should keep it, since there are no Linux
client binaries on the updater, you will have to install the update files from
my site which will remove everything except art in specified directory, install
itself and run the updater for you (so make sure you are connected to the
Internet while runing the update installer). I think this update will be available
today evening (CEST) and shortly after that will be relased a full package
with art.

Thanks. Anyway a few news:
I have major connection problems since a few hours, so I couldn\'t upload files.
Anyway, client update for version 3.011 had been relased, for details see the
announcement on a pinned thread here.

Now is 03:15 and whatever you say, I am off to sleep. ;)

BTW, Wine is ok...as something to drink...I have seen alot in my life but but
more crappy program than wine is only MySQL...
