Debian Experimental Packages
Re: Debian Experimental Packages
It's not a bug, it's a feature™.
You need to point it to the location of your Morrowind's data files.

Re: Debian Experimental Packages
And, where are those data files?

Re: Debian Experimental Packages
I have updated the installation instructions on the Wiki to reflect this. I made some changes to your instructions, specifically I changedmaqifrnswa wrote:I updated installation instructions to use the Debian experimental packages. The people.debian.org packages won't be updated any more now that it is in experimental. Instructions apply to both Jessie and Wheezy users.
Code: Select all
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian experimental main contrib non-free
Code: Select all
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian experimental contrib
Code: Select all
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian experimental contrib
I also removed the apt-pinnings for Experimental, since they are unnecessary when only using packages from contrib (nothing in main ever depends on anything in contrib).

Re: Debian Experimental Packages
The packages can change positions over time... the end goal is to see openmw in main, but it will go through all the others first (unstable, testing, etc.).
Re: Debian Experimental Packages
Right, and when that happens the Wiki can be updated to reflect that. It will necessarily stay in contrib until the example suit is ready though.

Re: Debian Experimental Packages
Thanks -one thing though, everyone needs mygui from unstable. It won't be in testing for a little while until gcc4.8 is default compiler on SPARC and PowerPC. If you try to follow the wiki it will fail. EDIT: never mind I'll do some magic and try to force it through it may take a few days EDIT2: I thought about it more, since experimental packages are built against unstable, there is no guarantee it will work with testing packagesK0kt409P wrote:for Testing and Unstable, as nothing from the Unstable contrib or non-free repos is needed, nor anything from the Experimental main or non-free repos, and because libogre-1.9 is available by default in Testing and Unstable.Code: Select all
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian experimental contrib
On the other hand, uploads to unstable may break openmw. I don't know which is preferred. This will all be fixed when 1.0 comes out anyways.
Also apt pinning openmw in experimental to >500 allows it to auto update. Without pinning experimental packages need explicit apt-get install every release. It's a quirk of experemtal.

Perhaps I am misreading something, but it looks like it's already there: http://packages.debian.org/source/jessie/myguimaqifrnswa wrote: Thanks -one thing though, everyone needs mygui from unstable.

Interesting, I did not know that. I'll update the wiki to include it.Also apt pinning openmw in experimental to >500 allows it to auto update. Without pinning experimental packages need explicit apt-get install every release. It's a quirk of experemtal.
