I wanted to use Arch as my gaming plataform instead of Mandrake, but i dont know how to handle the rpm file in Arch...
Any help appreciated.

Install rpmunpack & cpio. Then to extract the contents of the .rpm do :
rpmunpack < your_pkg.rpm | gzip -d | cpio -idmuv
and simply copy the files included in a dir in your system (eg, /opt/winex).

or you can download the sources by cvs and make an arch package

you can create the package, but it's not allowed to publish it....

Thanks!
Im downloading the pkgs right now....
I dont build it from CVS, becouse i have the builds already, and the CVS version doesnt include some propietary stuff, also, as a "release" (3.2) its supposed to be stable... or at least, the games they say work, should work.
But i been compiling CVS version till now, only, not in Arch or a pkg... also i dont have broadband so i wouldnt be able to upload the file...
you can create the package, but it's not allowed to publish it....
Thats in the licence??? I know the get kind of mad when they hear about published pkgs, and also menace with changing the licence... but being prohibited??

This works for me, but you'll need to be a subscriber. Install pygtk and python, then download point2play small package tgz. Unpack this to / (as root). Run Point2Play and setup your account and then use Point2Play to download the latest version.
One nice thing about this method is that the point2play icon appears in the gnome menu under others
Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.

why not download the slackpkg and extract it at /
no messy rpm junk needed
