Description

Outline

In order to make Orxonox more attractive to outstanders we need to provide some OS/distribution specific mechanisms to install Orxonox. We want to be able to distribute Orxonox for the following platforms:

  • Linux:
    • Ubuntu / Debian
    • Gentoo
  • Windows

Prerequisits

In order to be able to accomplish distribution we need to fulfill some prerequisits:

  • Configuration files location: config files should not (at least on linux) be located in the game folder. So we need to change this in our game.
  • external libraries: we need to make clear what exactly our dependencies are.

Ubuntu / Debian

The distribution on these systems will happen by using .deb packages.

Gentoo

The package system of Gentoo uses portage ebuilds to distribute applications. Someone needs to write an ebuild.

Windows

Probably the best method for distribution is to provide either a zip-file or a self-executable installer file.
