Arch Linux User Repository

Just use the unvanquished-git package for now, it's only a few commits ahead of 0.27.2 (and is based on unvanquished-data, too): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/unvanquished-git/

Thanks for your prompt replies. Though I hard coded the new url in CmakeList.txt to read
set( REMOTE "https://www.unvanquished.net/unvanquished_deps/linux64-1.tar.bz2" )
but when I run makepkg -s CmakeList.txt get overwritten with the ~amanieu url!

While I consider the root cause to be censorship, which I unfortunately cannot fix, the link has been updated on master (and thus will be updated in the next release). You can workaround by using the »unvanquished-git« package or changing the URL in CmakeList.txt manually, around line 1017.

I copied the file over but it's overwritten instead of being skipped. Can you please fix the root cause replacing the new url in the package files?

The webspace is hosted by one of our developers and as safe as any other place. I assume it was blocked because it uses a top level domain that is shared among many independent servers, some of which might be considered "disreputable" by the saudi arabian censorship authorities…

We uploaded a copy to our main site: https://www.unvanquished.net/unvanquished_deps/linux64-1.tar.bz2

If you put the file at »/tmp/unvanquished/src/Unvanquished-archlinux-0.27.2-2/CMakeFiles/«, the download should be skipped.

Is this safe? Why can't unvanquished upload its core files to a more reputable server?

Sorry for the delay, I was holding back since there were issues with the release, which are still present in the current packages and aren't solved upstream either. In short, if you want to load a map or run a server locally, you will need to pass »+set vm_game 2« as a command line argument to the binary or launcher in question, otherwise the program will use the default option of 0 and crash. This should be fixed shortly in version 0.27.1, otherwise I will hack this workaround into the launcher scripts of 0.27.0-2, so either way the package should be fully functional in a few days.

Pyromaniac, I couldn't reproduce your issue when testing with the latest freetype and cmake versions shortly after your post. If this continues to be a problem, please get in touch with me.

Not buildable at the moment. To fix, find cmake commandline in PKGBUILD and add the following *before* dot (last arg on commandline): "-D CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-I/usr/include/freetype2"

WorMzy, I added 'git' back to makedepends and enclosed directory variables in double quotes. However, I couldn't confirm what you reported about file permissions. All of them are explicitly set in the PKGBUILD to world-readable. »pacman -Ql unvanquished|awk '{print $2}'|xargs -I. ls -ld .« confirmed that this works for me.

Thanks, I'm going to look into all that for the next alpha release.
