============================================================================== Freeciv 1.13.0 Slackware packages (Jul 21 2002) notes ============================================================================== Packaged by Stepan Roh This README is stored in freeciv-common package as file named /usr/doc/freeciv-1.13.0/SLACKWARE_PACKAGE. These packages were built on Slackware 8.1. They may not work on previous versions of Slackware. Installation ------------ Following packages are offered: freeciv-common-1.13.0-i386-1.tgz contains files (like locales, data files and documentation) needed by all other packages freeciv-server-1.13.0-i386-1.tgz contains Freeciv server freeciv-client-xaw3d-1.13.0-i386-1.tgz contains Freeciv Xaw3D client freeciv-client-gtk-1.13.0-i386-1.tgz contains Freeciv Gtk+ client Only one client package is needed. Client binaries are civclient-xaw3d and civclient-gtk. Last installed client package will set symlink to civclient. Xaw3D client requires xfree86 and xaw3d packages to be installed. GTK+ client requires xfree86, gtk+ and imlib packages. Both clients require esound package to be installed. Everything is installed under /usr hierarchy. Installation (for upgrade see following chapter) is done with command (run it as root): installpkg For example: installpkg freeciv-common-1.13.0-i386-1.tgz Upgrade from previous package version ------------------------------------- Execute as root: upgradepkg For example: upgradepkg freeciv-common-1.13.0-i386-1.tgz Upgrade from older or 3rd-party packages ---------------------------------------- Because there are so many versions of Freeciv packages around, I suggest to remove them before installing new packages. Use following commands (as root) to get rid of all those old packages: # cd /var/log/packages; removepkg *freeciv* Then proceed to normal installation as describe above. Notes ----- Sound support is enabled, but no sound sets are provided. Bugs and suggestions -------------------- Bugs and suggestions relating to Freeciv play should be mailed to bugs@freeciv.org. Any questions or bugs regarding Slackware packages should be mailed to slack-freeciv@srnet.cz. See http://www.freeciv.org for further information on Freeciv.
