Should I set up a PPA for Xonotic or is it too early? - Minkovsky - 04-11-2011

Since I have a Launchpad account, I can create PPA's. Should I make one for Xonotic, or is it, like, too early for anything?

Please do! I know I'd use it.

Yes please! But name it like "xonotic-git" or something to avoid confusion.

Sorry for my silly question, but what is a PPA, and what can I do with it?

Seems very handy!

But, Minkovsky, I think you'd wait until 1.0 release.

No, I think you should at least wait until our next stable release. (Not development releases either)

I still think that you can make PPA for Xonotic when game is in developement, but name it xonotic-git like somebody did on AUR:

Will put 0.1 preview in when I feel like it.

I tried going to your PPA link.

Well, my browser shows the launchpad login site. Anyway, just try https://launchpad.net/~lamparski - I guess it's not working because Minkovsky didn't yet create the xonotic tree on launchpad.

ALSO you releasize that this thread is a bit old? :p I don't know if he's working on that anymore. (tbh, looks like he isn't.)
