SWGEmu Server Packages

This repository provides the necessary files to build unofficial an RPM package for the Star Wars Galaxies Emulator (SWGEmu) server. This uses pinned versions of git commits from GitHub for the Core3 and PublicEngine projects. This RPM is currently beta quality. Use at your own risk.

Built RPMs are provided on the ekultails/swgemu Fedora COPR.

$ sudo dnf copr enable ekultails/swgemu
$ sudo dnf install swgemu-server

RPM

Supported operating systems (x86_64):

• Fedora >= 28
• RHEL/CentOS 8

For building the RPM, optionally use a container. Note that sudo is not provided or required inside the container.

$ docker run -it --name swgemubuild fedora:28 bash

Install the dependencies to build the RPM, copy over the files required for the it, and then build it.

$ sudo dnf install 'dnf-command(builddep)' git rpm-build
$ git clone https://github.com/ekultails/swgemu-server-packages.git
$ mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
$ cp -f -r swgemu-server-packages/rpm/SOURCES/* ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
$ cp -f -r swgemu-server-packages/rpm/SPECS/* ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/
$ sudo dnf builddep ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/swgemu-server.spec
$ rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/swgemu-server.spec

The compiled RPM will be available at ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/swgemu-server*.rpm.

Server Configuration

A SWGEmu server adminsitrator's guide is provided in the GitHub repository at rpm/SOURCES/readme.md. That documentation is provided in the RPM at /opt/swgemu-server/doc/readme.md.

FAQ

• There is XYZ problem with SWGEmu. Where should issues be reported?
  • Only open GitHub issues here if there are issues building, installing, or updating the RPM itself. Visit https://www.swgemu.com/bugs/ to view or open bug reports. Upstream patches can be submitted to http://review.swgemu.com.
• CentOS/RHEL 8 does not provide lua-devel. How can the RPM be installed?
  • Install lua-devel from the ekultails/lua Fedora COPR: $ sudo dnf copr enable ekultails/lua && sudo dnf install lua-devel
  • Or use the CentOS 8 source code for lua to build all of the relevant RPMs following these instructions. This will build the required lua-devel RPM to help fulfill all of the build dependencies.
• Why are there no Debian packages?
  • There is already an official SWGEmu development virtual machine called ZonamaDev. This uses Debian as the operating system. There is also support for deploying SWGEmu to Debian docker containers on Kubernetes.
