Arch Linux User Repository

Major Update: PKGBUILD mostly rewritten, earlier references to D2/R2 mods removed. Dependencies updated/fixed alongside optional dependancies including all known Openra mods.

NOTE: PKGBUILD now packages a copy of the source code at the time of building into /usr/lib/openra/src/; This is for building mods against and it is /not/ a mistake. Mods are built against a client version and /only/ work with that version. So without it, you would need to rebuild openra-git and all mods built against it every time you want to install a new mod. - However, this means a increase in install/package size by about 40%.

Updated: Fixed the removal of "make dependencies" upstream;

will be removing old entries for RA2/D2 soon, as building against upstream is not possible as RA2/D2 are lagging behind too much in updating their engine compatibility.

fakeroot seems to have problems with make install

make install
# calls
sh -c '. ./packaging/functions.sh; install_assemblies ...
# calls
dotnet publish -c Release -p:TargetPlatform=linux-x64 -p:CopyGenericLauncher=True -p:CopyCncDll=True -p:CopyD2kDll=True -r linux-x64 -p:PublishDir=build/openra-git/pkg/openra-git/usr/lib/openra --self-contained true

The dotnet publish does not work in fakeroot:

fakeroot sh -xc '. ./packaging/functions.sh; install_assemblies build/openra-git/src/openra-git build/openra-git/pkg/openra-git/usr/lib/openra linux-x64 True True True'
+ . ./packaging/functions.sh
...
+ dotnet publish -c Release -p:TargetPlatform=linux-x64 -p:CopyGenericLauncher=True -p:CopyCncDll=True -p:CopyD2kDll=True -r linux-x64 -p:PublishDir=build/openra-git/pkg/openra-git/usr/lib/openra --self-contained true

Restore failed in 4.2s

vs without fakeroot

sh -xc '. ./packaging/functions.sh; install_assemblies build/openra-git/src/openra-git build/openra-git/pkg/openra-git/usr/lib/openra linux-x64 True True True'
+ . ./packaging/functions.sh
...
+ dotnet publish -c Release -p:TargetPlatform=linux-x64 -p:CopyGenericLauncher=True -p:CopyCncDll=True -p:CopyD2kDll=True -r linux-x64 -p:PublishDir=build/openra-git/pkg/openra-git/usr/lib/openra --self-contained true
Restore complete (1.3s)

The solution is probably to move the dotnet publish to the build() function as it runs without fakeroot?

Updated: Used recommended fixes from d6EJVpOE.

@d6EJVpOE - Added your changes, i wasnt aware of the change. If your interested in co-maintainer roll. Please let me know

@MarsSeed - While id love to, there is a problem. Archpackaging (https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/openra/) uses the same format. i was trying to make it futureproof.

Upstream use's the date as a version as well, which is also a concern. Building mods/addons requires the specific version of the game thats installed to be compatible. so i cant just change versioning without also petitioning upstream & archpackaging to do it as well.

Im open to idea's, but i dont see any way to change this.

Upon further review it should already be monotonic; The format +Y+m+d(Year[4]Month[2]Day[2]) should already be a continuous monotonic increase, as these the datestamp sum in this order will only ever count up. the git commit is necessary to prevent build-issues with mods/addons, so it cannot be removed. Any issues that arise from that is a pacman issue in the first place. as $DATE.$REV-$REL should be treating the dateline like a major version, git commit like like minor and the pkgrel is stationary as it only applies to same-version revisions.

@DocMAX - I cant replicate this, its physically in /bin/OpenRA.dll - i know this is not ideal and ill fix it in the future. i am on a tight time schedule. with a estate sale atm.

ill look into it as soon as i can.

Will update following personal matters (funerals)

Also please adjust pkgver() to guarantee monotonic increase.

apparently, make build and make install need RUNTIME=mono now when using mono:

Cannot open assembly 'OpenRA.dll': No such file or directory.

When is this going to be fixed finally?

A few people have been pointing out there is some problems with this package.

I'll add it to my queue, but I'm a little backed up with irl/work. So it may be a 1-3 weeks till I get to this.

Wont run since OpenRA.dll is missing. It's nowhere in the whole package tree for some reason.

Also build deps need updated, had to install dotnet sdk in order to build.
