physfs: PhysicsFS (abstract file access gaming library)
physfs:
physfs: PhysicsFS is a library to provide abstract access to various archives.
physfs: It is intended for use in video games, and the design was somewhat
physfs: inspired by Quake 3's file subsystem. The programmer defines a
physfs: "write directory" on the physical filesystem. No file writing through
physfs: the PhysicsFS API can leave that write directory, for security.

awesome!
I love warzone. The best rts for linux. 
(gslapping it right now)

EdiT: I met a dependency:

Code:

physfs: Depends: libpng-1.2.16 >= i486

after ignoring it,i have to manually install openal...

After playing abit,i get the feeling this version is a bit cut. Music is missing, some of the pictures too...

[easuter]

That libpng library is in the testing repo:

http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/veclinux-5.8/testing/libs/libpng-1.2.16-i486-1.tlz

The problem is that slapt-get is reading the arch (i486) as the version. Probably a bad slack required file.

[Joe1962]

Dang! Probably cause physfs is a cmake/makeslapt affair. I love checkinstall's slack-deps (after the OOorg issue went away), anything else deps on the specific package name, forgot about that...

NOTE to M0E-lnx: let's add cmake processing to vpackager...

Thanks, I'll look into that. Perhaps checkinstall doesn't catch everything...

Yes, please. Scribus, which is very important to me, now uses cmake. I managed to compile it but creating a package required help, which vector kindly provided.

Wasn't just makeslapt, checkinstall did it too. The installed libpng package name seems to be somewhat "iffy": libpng-1.2.16-i486-1_slack11.0

A couple of other packages also gave bad deps in physfs.

About the game data, AFAICT, it's all in there.

I think that since Patrick V started appending the slack version to the end of the build number for their more recent patches, it almost has to be accepted as a "standard" for packaging.

FWIW (about $0.0000000002),

Ok, but the dep comes out like "libpng-1.2.16 >= i486"...  . I guess some patching will be in order for the dep generator code.

This should fix the dependency problems.
