For the exhaustive change log, see Ahruman's post:
https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=5196
You can get the Linux autopackage installer from the following places:
https://developer.berlios.de/project/sh ... se_id=7424 (scroll to the bottom of the list)
ftp://ftp.alioth.net/oolite/oolite-1.72.x86.package
Or you can bring your current install up to date using
rsync, by going into the directory where Oolite is installed (usually, /usr/lib/Oolite if you installed as root):
Code: Select all
rsync -a rsync://rsync.alioth.net/oolite/dev/Linux-x86 .
(note the dot at the end!)

@Winston I went to the dir where my current copy of Oolite lives - c&p your rsync line from your post into my command line - waited for ages and ages and ages and when it finished oolite appears (from file size and date) to be unchanged. Have I done something wrong?

Autobuild package working fine on Ubuntu 8.04. To upgrade from the 1.65 version in the repositories:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get remove oolite oolite-data
chmod +x oolite-1.72.x86.package
sudo ./oolite-1.72.x86.package
The shortcut may break, or not appear in the Menu at all. To run, use
/usr/bin/oolite, which is different to Ubuntu/Debian's
/usr/games/oolite.

I'm still struggling to get 1.72 onto my system.
Having downloaded this:
http://prdownload.berlios.de/oolite-lin ... 86.package
onto my Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon system - what do I actually do with it?!

Run it with the terminal, it's a shell script.

D'oh! Of course it is - silly me! Cheers..

It wasn’t obvious to me either. :-)
(As I recall, what it does is install an installer. After that, you can open .packages with the installer. Recursive bootstrappy fun!)

Help! Fired up a terminal but how do I get the *.package to run under Ubuntu - I made it executable but that hasn't made any difference.
Being
terminally dumb this week.

Please, anybody?

I’ve only done it once, a while ago, but I’m pretty sure I just went ./whatever.package and got a bunch of scrolling text and flashing windows in the approved movie-like fashion.

@Ahruman - I thought that's what you'd say and it didn't do that for me.
nuts!

I installed it on Ubuntu 8.10 without a hitch. The only thing now is that it doesn't know where my OXPs are. Where should I move them to?

~/.Oolite/AddOns, apparently.

That seems to work except it won't load my trusty Imperial Courier. It says
could not find ship type "impcourier-player" - please reinstall the appropriate oxp
However, there is definitely the line
impcourier-player in the shipdata.plist file.
I may be running an old version of the oxp (I have impcourier2) but the wiki seems to be down so I can't check if that's the case.

Even more strange. In the afternoon even a whois and a ping wasn't working. Now whois and ping/tracert works, but the side is still not shown. Nowbody has reported the same problem and I already thought that Winston banned me, because he wanted to get rid of my updates - paranoia :-)
