MEGAGLEST
by Titus Tscharntke and Mark Vejvoda
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version Release instructions for Linux Only
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are 3 archives that are built for a given release (starting with versions
after 3.6.0). In order to build a release you must have all files checked out
of svn for that specific release (example: trunk)
To set the current version for release, modify the file mk/linux/mg-version.sh
and change the two variables:
OLD_MG_VERSION=3.6.0.1
MG_VERSION=3.6.0.2
*Note: Please ensure the MG_VERSION variable matches the version set in the
MegaGlest binary, thius can be checked by running: ./megaglest --version
It is possible to have the mg-version.sh script NOT match the binary in cases
where we are releasing binary compatible updates to the archives in which case
we typically use a forth digit in the version # (as seen above)
#1. The source archive:
This archive contains source code for binary compilation of the application and
tools
The naming convention for the source archive is:
megaglest-source-<VERSION>.tar.xz
To build this archive open a terminal and from the mk/linux folder run:
./makerelease.sh
This will produce megaglest-source-<VERSION>.tar.xz in the release subfolder
#2. The data archive:
This archive contains pre-compiled data content which is used by the game and
its tools
The naming convention for the data archive is:
megaglest-data-<VERSION>.tar.xz
To build this archive open a terminal and from the mk/linux folder run:
./makedata.sh
This will produce megaglest-data-<VERSION>.tar.xz in the release subfolder
#3. The data source archive:
This archive contains data source (such as .blend files) for people to mod
original game data content
The naming convention for the data source archive is:
megaglest-data-source-<VERSION>.tar.xz
To build this archive open a terminal and from the mk/linux folder run:
./makedata-source.sh
This will produce megaglest-data-source-<VERSION>.tar.xz in the release subfolder
*NOTE: Currently this script only works for the trunk level release
