OpenXcom .deb packages and PPA repository for ubuntu linux

[knapsu]

@SupSuper, sure. Adding hash is a good idea.

The commit hash will be taken directly from git repo and added to version string.

Pattern:
  ${VERSION}+${DATE}.${HASH}-${RELEASE}${EXTRA}
Examples:
  1.0+20160118.9713453-1
  1.0+20160111.b336caf-1~trusty1

I meant the internal game version. It's useful to know which version saves/bugs come from.
It should be part of CMake: https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/commit/31fc274be5e81470c6f5bcbdc1f9bca5c081b652

Hey. I've added OpenXcom 1.0 packages for Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) for anyone who does not want to use the latest bleeding edge version.
As usual libyaml package makes the most trouble when creating good DEB packages. I needed to patch it to work with GCC 6.

The Ubuntu PPA is here:
https://launchpad.net/~knapsu/+archive/ubuntu/openxcom/

A small reminder...

Nightly builds are done every weekend for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus).

These packages works with all other Linux distributions that are based on Ubuntu LTS (Linux Mint, Neon, etc).
Packages for Xenial also works with Debian Unstable (at least the last time I've checked).

The Ubuntu Nightly Builds PPA is here:
https://launchpad.net/~knapsu/+archive/ubuntu/openxcom-beta/

It's in the nightly section.

Oh thanks I did not pay attention Hey, I see also the openxcom executable (the nightly ones) is also avaiable packaed with AppImage! See screenshot attached


Great thing, I was just wondering why it may be dne also with openxcom extended. Any Channches, please? :/

Edit: and openxcom exetended plus?

[7Saturn]

I second that!

[Stoddard]

If knapsu shares the debian directory that's used to build the .deb packages, I'll set up builds for the  for Trusty, Xenial, Jessie and Stretch, for the OpenXcom, OpenXcom Extended and the Meridian branch.

I might have missed something, if it's shared already, please point me to it.

[knapsu]

@Stoddard, the Debian package specification files are in OpenXcom repository. Take a look here https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/tree/master/install/debian

Honestly with AppImage that just works everywhere I don't see too much need for nightly DEB and RPM packages anymore.

@niculinux, if you need AppImage packages for OpenXcom Extended than I suggest you clone the https://github.com/knapsu/OpenXcom-AppImage repository. This repo is fully automated to make daily OpenXcom builds for 32-bit and 64-bit Linux using Travis CI and upload them to https://openxcom.org/ website. After you clone it modify line 49 for 'scripts/build.sh' to point to OpenXcom Extended repository and enable Travis for your cloned repo. Also replace '--scp' with '--transfer' on line 24 in '.travis.yml' file so that final AppImage packages will be uploaded and shared to https://transfer.sh/ as you won't be able to upload them to OpenXcom website.

If you need more info about AppImage package please read this post https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5432.0.html

oh thanks! But since it more complicated with me, plus donn't have much time to make experiments, I wish some more expert user(s) would do this. Hey but since here are in a ubuntu theme topic, i'll open anotherthred

Is there any chance to get ppa for the new Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?

Package libyaml-cpp-dev is version 0.5.2-4. According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yaml-cpp/+bug/1513431 the bug is fixed there.

Thanks!

[knapsu]

Hey @hairybert. I'll update the PPA on weekend. Take care.

[hairybert]

@knapsu: Wow, that's great!
