I want to package the latest version of openclonk for openSUSE and thus am looking for the source tarball for the latest version on http://www.openclonk.org/download/
it is not under http://www.openclonk.org/builds/ and
http://hg.openclonk.org/openclonk/archive/ returns a python syntax error.
I found the instructions for mercurial checkout, but would prefer to have a source-tarball URL.

any pointers are appreciated
thanks for your help

Hmm, since noone answered yet, I'll do it.

Currently, there are indeed no source tarballs available. I guess it wouldn't be much work to add them but why do you need them? I mean, there are linux builds available which are binary compatible with SUSE. Till, then, you'd need mercurial to update to the newest stable available.

Isilkor is running our repository. Isilkor?

Archive downloads are disabled on the web ui. Apparently hgweb doesn't like it if somebody goes to the archive page when no such link should exist. ;-)

Edit:
I'll consider making pre-generated source tarballs available from tagged versions.

http://hg.openclonk.org/openclonk/archive/ now has some .tar.gz files which I used to build.
The reasoning is that a piece of software in a rpm package can specify dependencies that will automatically get installed.
Also building from source allows to add patches, if needed and provides some reproducibility.

packages for openSUSE* and Mandriva-2010.1 are currently built in
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=openclonk&project=home%3Abmwiedemann%3Abranches%3Ahome%3ASpell1337
but I hope to get them into the official games repo at some point in time.
Fedora-14 is not building from some XPM error - not sure what it needs there.

Ciao
