Migrating to a Gentoo-style Update System

July 29, 2009 on 12:06 pm | In Programming, ZDLSharp | By QBasicer | No Comments

Woah woah woah. ZDL is not dead! I’m planning on the new update stuff, and I must say I really like Gentoo’s updating method. There’s two different streams (beta and stable) on at least 3 different operating systems. Here’s a proposed package method…

  • qzdl-win-x86 stable unstable
  • qzdl-linux-x86 stable unstable
  • qzdl-osx-x86 stable unstable

This of course would all be released in qZDL 3.0.6.0, and no plans are being made for x64 or ppc releases. I’m currently working on 3.0.5.3q, which is the transition release between ZDLSharp (C# based) to qZDL (Qt Based). I’m hoping with my past experience with Qt that I can quickly finish up what I have done so far, and start pushing out a release. I’m going to be releasing the ZDLSharp source around that time on my website (it’s currently on request only). Everything should be documented on the wiki, and I just made a commit to the svn repo.
