Sourceforge and Pacman

I am looking to install sauerbraten from...

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile … _id=412890

I would to add sourceforge as a repo in /etc/pacman.conf. However, I already have Server set to http://arch.os-zen.net/pkg/shadowhand for Shadowhand's repo. What should I do?

You can only add repositories that have Arch packages. SF typically has the source files, which you have to compile and install manually. Pacman cannot handle those things.

However, I already have Server set to http://arch.os-zen.net/pkg/shadowhand for Shadowhand's repo. What should I do?

You can add as many different Arch repo's as you like, as long as you stick to the correct scheme:

[shadowhand]
Server = http://arch.os-zen.net/pkg/shadowhand
[fubar]
Server = http://marcosaxo.madoka.be/files/arch/

Re: Sourceforge and Pacman

Alternatively, use the sauerbraten PKGBUILD in the AUR.

Re: Sourceforge and Pacman

That's my catchword, I think (I'm the maintainer of the Sauerbraten PKGBUILD in the AUR atm). I haven't updated the package since two month as there are some building problems I have to get rid of. I'll have a look at them as soon as possible... (Not in the next few days)
I can't post you the error messages I get as I'm not at my machine right now.

pm me if you want to overtake the package or if you have a working PKGBUILD for the new version!

Cheers Sigi

Re: Sourceforge and Pacman

Thanks for the support. It turns out my video card is too old for the game anyway so even if I could get it to run, it would look terrible. I'll probably ask about this again when i have a good video card.

Re: Sourceforge and Pacman

You're welcome - nice to see people interested in sauerbraten.

Just for your information: sauerbraten 2006_04_26_occlusion_edition-1 is now in the AUR!

Give it a try later...

Re: Sourceforge and Pacman

I had to change my PKGBUILD to a working mirror.  Seems the default sourceforge locations never work lately.

Anyway, sauerbraten won't run:

/opt/sauerbraten/bin_unix/linux_client

Re: Sourceforge and Pacman

Sauerbraten works fine for me... I had to remove the aoss stuff from the scripts, but that's not a problem.

Bysshe: Are you sure to have the latest version installed?
