Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds

[JensAyton]

May I suggest removing the 64-bit Linux nightly links from the other nightly pages? A build from October doesn’t really qualify as a nightly.

[Getafix]

I will remove it today.
I will bring it back as soon as I set it up on my server.
Caracal's server seems dead.

[Getafix]

The new server is up...
Linux64bit oolite trunk nightly builds are back.

Following the SpiderMonkey update to FF4b12, the nightly trunk build failed.
Currently building r4413, addressing the issue.
ETC: 12:25pm 12:20pm (GMT +2:00)

As of r4495 the Oolite for Linux nightly is delivered in a new packager format.
The resulting file (after gunzip) appears as a shell script having a .run suffix, and can be launched as is.

The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an installation script will be launched, prompting for
a system-wide (i.e. /opt/Oolite-trunk) or
a user home directory (i.e. $HOME/GNUstep/Applications/Oolite-trunk) installation.
A desktop menu "Oolite-trunk (oolite.org)" entry will be created under Games menu.
An uninstall script is also delivered (in the Oolite-trunk root folder) in case you wish to remove this installation.

The new packager also delivers Basic-debug.oxp as described here.

This installation can co-exist with a previous autopackage Oolite-trunk installation.
However, it is recommended to remove it.

Code: Select all

$ [sudo] package remove oolite-trunk

It is hard to get support when various installations are simultaneously present.

First post updated for the new packager format.

Moved from announcement to sticky topics.

Re-organized and updated first post.

Due to terrastorage server maintenance,
the nightly server will be down for a couple of hours.

EDIT: Done.

A nasty regression bug sneaked in today's build - rev4665 - that basically disables Oolite if starting in windowed mode.

Do not dowload, unless you know exactly how to set oolite to always start in fullscreen mode.

Err, & it's a laptop, so, it's not going to be terribly easy to get a graphics card replacement.

Please test if it breaks between these two versions:

• r4737
• r4738

Yup, -4737 runs fine, -4738 gives "oolite: src/SDL/MyOpenGLView.m:220: -[MyOpenGLView init]: Assertion `surface != ((void *)0)' failed."

[JensAyton]

OK, there will be a workaround in the next nightly.

[JensAyton]

fronclynne, have you tested a more recent nightly?
