I have APT packaged vanilla CVS Circle over the past few weeks and
will continue to sync it with current CVS snapshots for the
forseeable future. I don't see the binary packages being of much
interest to anyone, but I put them up for testing purposes. The main
usefulness is the ability to act as a package template so admins can
easily manage compiles, upgrades, rollbacks, et cetera through dpkg
and related tools.
My minimal changes quoted from README.Debian:
* Installed files to necessary locations to meet Debian Policy.
* Renamed executables to have less generic names.
* Modified autorun to check circlemud.conf for preferences.
* Built a few extra safety checks into autorun.
* Added a pidfile creation routine to comm.c and a SysVinit script.
* Moved licheck routine to installation rather than compilation.
* Configure implementor account at installation for security.
For those wanting to add the repository to /etc/apt/sources.list you
can use the following binary and source lines respectively:
deb http://www.yuggoth.org/debian-CCL unstable unofficial
deb-src http://www.yuggoth.org/debian-CCL unstable unofficial
If you want to download the packages via FTP, HTTP or HTTPS:
proto://www.yuggoth.org/debian-CCL/pool/unofficial/c/circlemud/
Another related question... is it taboo to distribute compiled
CircleMUD binaries? I don't see it covered under the license FAQ so
I'm assuming it's okay. I guess I typically don't see them because
they're just not popular (obviously nobody wants to run a stock MUD,
as this is not Circle's strong suit).
Questions? Suggestions? Bug reports for my tweaks? Just let me know!
