Is it possible to update to a users home folder yet, or do i have to used that shared folder in /opt ?

[magnetik]

It's not possible to specify the installation directory.
What are you trying to acheive?

[ubbe]

Someone spoke earlier in the forum about updating installations in the users home directory.
Instead of everyone sharing the one in /opt/maniaplanet-server.

Perhaps it works using shortcuts/links from the home directory to the /opt/maniaplanet-server with ln -s?

[magnetik]

Yep but that's not something that is doable with a Debian package.

You can use symbolink link in your user directory indeed, but iif you share it among different users, they will all modify the same version of the files.

You can do a quite simple update script :

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
FILE="http://files.maniaplanet.com/ManiaPlanet2Beta/ManiaPlanetBetaServer_latest.zip"
wget $FILE -O ManiaPlanetBetaServer_latest.zip
unzip ManiaPlanetBetaServer_latest.zip -d /home/USERNAME/maniaplanetserver/
rm ManiaPlanetBetaServer_latest.zip

Thanks.
But that would overwrite all the config-files etc too right?

I was thinking I should try symlinks, but I will run several instances of MP.
Could link to different start-scripts I guess? That points to different config-files...
