CREATING NEW CONTENT PACKAGES
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
When a new version of UQM is released, new versions of the content
|
|
packages will also need to be created and uploaded. These packages are
|
|
renamed zip files created by the uqmzip utility under tools/uqmzip, and
|
|
ultimately by the "zip" commandline utility itself.
|
|
|
|
Because of the way Windows and Git interact with line endings and the like,
|
|
and because of macOS's occasionaly pollution of zip files with macOS-specific
|
|
metadata, official releases always create these packages on a Linux system,
|
|
|
|
The behavior of uqmzip is controlled by variables set at the beginning of it;
|
|
customize these variables for the version and for your system, but remember
|
|
to back out any changes that refer to your system's unique configuration!
|
|
|
|
Once the packages are created, upload them to SourceForge in an appropriate
|
|
directory matching the current pattern for previous versions. This will
|
|
make them available for new users and for the Windows network installer.
|
|
|
|
The network installer will also need to be modified to know how to recognize
|
|
the new packages. Make a dist-packages/ directory in the repository root (so,
|
|
next to sc2 and tools) and put all of them in there. There should be seven;
|
|
content, 3domusic, voice, and the four remix packs. Change the directory to
|
|
sc2/build/win32_install and run:
|
|
|
|
./procpkgs.sh
|
|
|
|
This will update packages.nsh with fresh versions of the MD5 sums and
|
|
package filenames for later inclusion in the installer logic.
|
|
|
|
If this was a release more significant than a patch release, then the
|
|
SourceForge packages were uploaded to a new directory; edit any necessary
|
|
instances of the $DOWNLOADPATH variable in uqm-installer.nsi to point
|
|
to the new URLs.
|
|
|
|
Changes to packages.nsh and uqm-installer.nsi SHOULD be committed to the
|
|
repository in their corresponding version branch. Changes to the uqmzip
|
|
script SHOULD NOT be committed.
