A binary package usable on all debian based systems (including Ubuntu) has finally been released.
Download it here:
http://open-ra.org/releases/linux/download.php
Thanks to Iran for doing most of the hard parts for me.
Still to come for linux packages:
- Better changelog integration
- Freedesktop compliant menu entries/desktop icons
- Man pages

Nice! One problem is that the bold part in the description needs to be smaller (only a few words). 'apt-cache search openra' shows:
Code: Select all
maikel@computer-maikel:~$ apt-cache search openra
libopenraw-dev - free implementation for RAW decoding - development files
libopenraw1 - free implementation for RAW decoding
libopenraw1-dbg - debugging symbols for libopenraw
libopenrawgnome-dev - GNOME integration for libopenraw - development files
libopenrawgnome1 - free implementation for RAW decoding (GNOME integration)
libopenrawgnome1-dbg - debugging symbols for libopenrawgnome
rasmol-doc - Documentation for rasmol
openra - A multiplayer reimplementation of the Command & Conquer: Red Alert game engine in .NET/Mono, OpenGL, OpenAL and SDL. Has extensive modding support and includes Command & Conquer as an official mod.
The length of the description is quite unusually long. What problems are you having with the menu entries and desktop icons?

I was just using the description provided in the control file of the .deb you made. I'll fix it with the next release.
I'm not having a problem with the menu entries and the like, I just wanted to get the debian package working and distributed before moving on to that since I want it in all the linux packages.

Ah, nice to know. Yeah, I saw the problem only after testing apt-cache on the file.

Sorry about that.

Noticed the Debian packaging seems to be missing. Any chance it might return? Really missing the debs.

Sorry, we don't plan on releasing deb packages again; they were completely superseded by AppImages.
