| 16:44.44 | JeffM | blast007: boo |
| 16:45.23 | blast007 | well, I'd just crash old client since I force HTTPS for download.bzflag.org |
| 16:45.26 | blast007 | clients* |
| 16:45.41 | JeffM | ahh, well that can be fixed at some point |
| 16:46.19 | JeffM | well still, my point in that conversation still stands, using some other packaging method on debian would just make debian users the same as the other os's for updates |

| 17:04.17 | JeffM | there would still need to be a way to tell the non-debian OSs to update, so it's trivial to include them |
| 17:38.23 | JeffM | at least the person I talked to in the debian games channel agreed they don't have a good system for games that need timely updates. |
| 17:39.42 | JeffM | they should do a game center like thing that just keeps games up to date |
| 17:39.54 | JeffM | if they want this to be the year of the linux desktop ;) |
| 17:42.32 | blast007 | https://github.com/desura/desura-app |
| 17:43.19 | JeffM | is that packaged in debian? |
| 17:43.35 | blast007 | no |
| 17:43.54 | JeffM | looks like they just got bought too |
| 17:43.59 | JeffM | http://www.desura.com/ |
| 17:44.22 | JeffM | but yes, it'd be nice to have something like that, that was part of debian and other distros |
| 17:44.31 | JeffM | like steam but for open source stuff |
| 17:44.38 | JeffM | and we don't need all the other steamy stuff |
| 17:44.47 | JeffM | just a way to get games into linuxy computers |
| 17:45.18 | JeffM | just have it pull from different apt repos that have different update rules |
| 17:45.44 | JeffM | they can't assume everyone has an application life style similar to a word processor |
| 17:45.56 | blast007 | games that update a lot probably arn't a good fit for normal packages |
| 17:46.16 | JeffM | possibly, but the answer isn't "don't update them" :) |
| 17:46.28 | blast007 | you'd want to do individual file updates, not 'redownload the whole thing' updates |
| 17:46.47 | JeffM | let us add a lanucher app to debian that can go update the stuff it needs then |
| 17:47.17 | JeffM | and that launcher app has the option of just getting you the sources and letting you build |
| 17:48.30 | blast007 | run the game through Wine |
| 17:48.32 | blast007 | ducks |
| 17:48.39 | JeffM | heh |
| 17:49.00 | JeffM | if it was using .net same binary could run just using mono |
