Automatic Software Updater: Difference between revisions

If you are packing the Stendhal client for a Linux distribution, consider to just include a start-menu entry to the webstart-client and the required java dependencies: <nowiki>javaws http://arianne.sf.net/jws/stendhal.jnlp</nowiki> for the general client or <nowiki>https://stendhalgame.org/account/mycharacters.html</nowiki> for a client specific to the official server. This way you comply with the distribution policies that you need to recompile the code (there is no code in the package). But the client will automatically get our updates and people will not get angry at you or us because it is out of date compared to the official server. We do put a lot of effort into supporting old clients, but there are often minor glitches.

* Create a file build.ant-private.properties in the stendhal root folder with three entries: keystore.alias, keystore.update-alias and keystore.password. The first two variables should be the same.
