Urban Terror
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
Urban Terror is a popular total conversion/mod based on the Quake 3
engine. It is a realistic style game similar to Counter Strike. Works
well already with the Quake 3 engine available in the repository.
Instructions
------------
# yum install quake3
# wget ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/urbanterror/UrbanTerror40_full.zip
(536 MB)
# unzip UrbanTerror40_full.zip
# su
# mv q3ut4/ /usr/share/quake3
# exit
# quake3 +set fs_game q3ut4
Trying to run it from the mod menu will fail with a "hunk alloc" error.
So don't bother. Let me know if it works for you.
Packaging
---------
It doesn't allow redistribution. The readme has this gem.
"Urban Terror is distributed free over the Internet and is covered by
the Quake 3 SDK licence agreement [EULA]. The mod files may not be sold
[in any form] or distributed on physical media unless with permission
from iD Software.
For further information on legal use of programs derived from Quake 3
source code, please contact their respective authors.
"
While it may indeed be possible to secure redistribution rights from id
since they are a very Linux friendly company, we could do something to
make this easier meanwhile. Create a package called urbanterror which
depends on the quake3 package and uses autodownloader to download the
game data, create a menu entry which calls the above command. Should be
pretty easy to do. Anyone interested?

Fedora games Live CD?
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
I was contacted by a local computing magazine which is aiming to
distribute a gaming distribution by December and wanted to know if I
could do a Fedora games Live CD. It has a monthly circulation of 15000
copies but due to the low cost of the magazine they can't afford to
distribute a DVD.
I could do one specifically for them but is there any interest in having
it more widely available? Is a Fedora games Live CD worth the effort?

You might want to check this one out... the graphics look GREAT on the
website, but it needs something to make properly. I'm no coder! :)

The Author says he's abandoning, right there on his website it so I
guess that means it's free to update and package in an rpm?? Space game
shooters usually look kinda mundane... this one would be a great one to
salvage. Ric

Mixing of macros and native commands in specs.
by Peter Lemenkov
Hello All!
Just for clarification - is it allowed to mix macros and native
command in spec-file? For instance
%make
make %{?_smp_mflags}
%install
%{_rm} -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
make DESTDIR=%{buildroot} install
