Bug#553035: willing to help

[Alexandre Detiste]

Hi,

For me, game-data-packager is the way to go to keep everything uniform.
Here is a patch adding tyrian to game-data-packager version 37.

It currently only recommends "opentyrian",
so this can be compiled manually.


 Makefile                  |    2 
 lib/tyrian-mirrors        |    1 
 supported/tyrian          |  126 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 tyrian-data/README.Debian |    4 +
 tyrian-data/control.in    |   13 ++++
 tyrian-data/copyright     |   20 +++++++
 tyrian.mk                 |   34 ++++++++++++

Sample output:

tchet at legacy:~$ game-data-packager tyrian
game-data-packager tyrian arguments:
        game-data-packager tyrian [ -f path ] | [ -w ]
                -f path         path to your existing copy of tyrian21.zip
                -w              fetch tyrian21.zip from the World Wide Web
tchet at legacy:~$ 
tchet at legacy:~/game-data-packager-tyrian$ ./game-data-packager tyrian -f 
../tyrian21.zip 
generated "/home/tchet/game-data-packager-tyrian/tyrian-data_37_all.deb".

This is precisely the role of game-data-packager.

I got the code form elsewhere, but it works 
fine the data .deb from G-D-P.

#!/bin/sh
#hg clone https://code.google.com/p/opentyrian/
cd /home/tchet/bin/opentyrian
hg update
