[Nix-dev] [REQUEST] Package for newly open sourced linux game, Beret

2011-12-18 Thread Mizery De Aria
I would like to help spread availability of a linux game that has been
recently open sourced by encouraging it to be included in package
repositories.  I don't use Red Hat and am not familiar with RPM and would
like to request if anyone else is available to prepare a package for the
game.  See http://www.indiedb.com/games/beret/forum/thread/open-source

I assume you meant you don't use NixOS and are not familiar with nix?

and would like to request if anyone else is available to prepare a 
package for the game.  See 
http://www.indiedb.com/games/beret/forum/thread/open-source





I'll take a go at adding it to nixpkgs. Do you have release tarballs or 
git tags for releases, or should I just use the current HEAD of the repo?


Cheers,
Shea Levy

I've packaged beret, revision ae029777be336eea5b6807f1d3e36b9fc48a77c7. 
See 
https://nixos.org/websvn/nix?op=comp&compare[]=%2F@30953&compare[]=%2F@30954 
if you're curious about the details.

Cheers,
Shea

Well, thank the two of you for bringing this highly addictive game to
nixos :/

However, F1 (save level state) and ESC (exit to map) are not working but
are just displaying "File was not opened". Any ideas?

And I obviously meant "in nixos" not "in beret" - evil game, go out of
my brain!

good news:
mkdir ~/.beret
mkdir ~/.beret/saves
mkdir ~/.beret/rooms
cd ~/.beret
beret

details:
at least the version shleavy packaged for nixos is not able to
create a config/state dir, except on OSX, it just assumes there is a
saves (and rooms?) folder in CWD (see game.c:818 and following).

bad news:
now it's actually fun to play the game...
