Hi,

 

we are interested in packaging the dark mod for gentoo (source distro). The only problem I see is how to obtain the data files. Is it possible to

 

a) host them on our own mirrors (would the licenses allow that?) or

 

b just wget them from a reliable mirror directly and

 

c) do they change in-place without being renamed?

 

There are a few other things on the way, but the data files issue is the most important. Other questions would involve:

 

d) are any of the bundled libraries/headers modified?

 

e) how can we make this more FHS compliant (pass custom data search location during compile time or as cli parameters)

[Serpentine]

a.) Yes. preferably they should host them if they are looking to package them. The license allows this.

b.) No, that's not exactly ideal as mirroring will not keep a fixed structure, I see you ask below anyway.

c.) Yes

d.) No - However be aware that the binary support is i386 (ok well i686, whateverrrr) at the moment, libs must match up, but nothing bad otherwise. Jpeg headers were edited in the past, but should now use system headers without issue.

e.) The build system will be changed in the future (hopefully) to make it easier for general compilation, as well as packaging. CMake rather than a mess of SCons.

 

Edit : If the guy needs any more, he can find me on freenode in #thedarkmod - same nick.
