Ryzom

hello!

I'm (trying to) building ryzom for Parabola GNU/Linux-libre.
Your problem is related to Arch's PKGBUILD, not of ryzom.

Since I already packaged the Ryzom data successfully on Parabola, you can use my PKGBUILD https://projects.parabolagnulinux.org/abslibre.git/plain/pcr/ryzom-data/PKGBUILD?id=3c957847b743778b71beec25ee93e514624487a7

btw, you ryzom-client runs without any issues? because I'm having an issue here http://dev.ryzom.com/boards/18/topics/6197

How you force makepkg to dont extract the archive?

No, I don't since i need the data for: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60318

with noextract=("download"), download is the name of the file what makepkg downloaded from sourceforge.
Better use my PKGBUILD, pal.
just change makedepends=('rsync' 'p7zip-libre') to makedepends=('rsync' 'p7zip')

If you run the game, please tell me if you can play Ryzom without issues of any sort.

Why you download the archive and sync the data in your PKGBUILD, why not only sync data?

Because that's faster to download from Sourceforge and then patch only needed files than patching all files several times. Don't forget patching process is incremental so it will patch each release since the first.

This is true, but he downloads from both sources the full game data so better use one instead of two. Is the archive from sourceforge getting updates?, when not its better to build an package that only has a script in it that updates the game data if the game is runned (specially with client-latest-hg).

BINGO!

I prefer this way instead of downloading 6GB of uncompressed game data through rsync!-
I now what I'm doing and why I do it, nevertheless, you can modify the PKGBUILD to fit your requirements.- Oh, yes, it's true. you have to update the game data from time to time, you could do a crond work for that, you might need to run the script as root because /usr/share/ryzom/data isn't writable by the normal users. I'll change my PKGBUILD to include a cron job for be run once a week.

Yes this is a way, but its bad cause your way (may) add files that are not in the package.

yes, but pacman can take care of them when it uninstalls the package! (because it deletes /usr/share/ryzom/data!)

Yes, I changed it to use a script similar to the update script that is shipped in the ryzom_client.7z package.

I just add a cron job in /etc/cron.d/ to update the game data once a week (as I said). It should be good enough since the speed of the updates for game data.
