• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Azamat H. Hackimov 2011-01-12 06:22:50 UTC]

New version of vdrift is available.

[Comment 1 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2011-01-12 09:45:48 UTC]

no data in that tarball.  they don't make it easy to package their game.

[Comment 2 Peter Asplund 2011-09-19 19:58:25 UTC]

New version (2011-09-01) has been released, so it should supersede this bug.

[Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2011-09-20 20:59:48 UTC]

*** Bug 383693 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 4 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2011-09-20 21:01:00 UTC]

2011-09-01 has the same issue.  There's no data distributed with the source.  Any link to the data available?  It wasn't obvious from the homepage but maybe I just missed it.

[Comment 5 Peter Asplund 2011-09-27 16:59:41 UTC]

By data, do you mean textures, models, etc?

[Comment 6 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2011-09-27 18:00:31 UTC]

everything that the compiled program needs to actually run, yes.

[Comment 7 Peter Asplund 2011-10-04 15:10:30 UTC]

Their wiki states:

---------
The data set is currently only available from the SourceForge SVN (https://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vdrift/vdrift-data). It needs to be checked out in a /data directory in the main vdrift directory. If you are using a command-line SVN client and have the VDrift repository checked out in a directory called /home/user/vdrift, you would do this:

cd /home/user/vdrift
svn co https://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vdrift/vdrift-data data
----------


I guess we can check out their data folder from a tag/label/branch/release matching the release version, if they've labeled them correctly that is.

[Comment 8 Peter Asplund 2011-10-12 12:16:38 UTC]

I've asked them on their IRC channel if they could supply tar.gz-drops of their data releases, but didn't receive an answer for 4 days.

vdrift-20111022-bump.patch

Latest release includes game data in tarball.

Patch removes NLS options because the game isn't actually localised.

Rebase original Gentoo patch and avoid seds.

in portage.  thanks for the bug report and ebuild.
