How do I make a "release" data pk3 (out of svn)?

How do I make a "release" data pk3?

I want to bring the svn data stuff over to a computer with very limited space: it thusly needs to be a pk3 without the .svn stuff (I guess). How do I make such a pk3 to replace the current data pk3 on the computer? Properly

this is what soulbringer's script does:

Code: Select all

cd data
compresion=9 # 0 = faster + larger; 9 = slower + smaller
7za a -tzip -mx=${compression} -x\!*.cfg -x\!*.txt -x\!*.sh -x\!*.pl -x\!*.pk3 data$( date +%Y%m%d ).pk3 ./
for D in *
do
if [[ -d "$D" ]]; then rm -rf "$D";fi
done

though the excluding cfg seems odd.



There is also makebuild.sh in misc/tools

This seems to work well:

7za a -tzip -mx=9 -x\!*.cfg -x\!*.txt -x\!*.sh -x\!*.pl -xr\!*.pk3 -xr\!.svn data.pk3 ./

I use this:
7z a -tzip data.pk3 . -x!common-spog.pk3 -x!qcsrc -xr!.svn

Removing sh and pl files won't make you gain much space obviously, and some .txt files are needed for the game. And .cfg is critical.

I forgot to remove the qcsrc. Will that gain much space? Is there a way I can strip it out now that the archive has been made?

Code: Select all

mkdir tmp && mv data.pk3 tmp
unzip data.pk3
rm qcsrc
7z a -tzip data.pk3 .

Code: Select all

mkdir tmp && mv data.pk3 tmp
unzip data.pk3
rm qcsrc
7z a -tzip data.pk3 .

Re 7ziping takes 4 hours.

man 7z

there is a function 'd' in there for delete. gl;hf make a backup and report back.

There actually is make targets for this too in the Makefile:

make fullpk3 packs everything inside the dir

make $(PK3NAME) first does a svn export, resulting that only files that are in SVN are sent to the new pk3.
