When you are packing the Stendhal client for a Linux distribution, consider to just pack a start-menu entry to the webstarter: <nowiki>javaws http://arianne.sf.net/jws/stendhal.jnlp</nowiki> or <nowiki>https://stendhalgame.org/account/mycharacters.html</nowiki> . This way you comply with the policies that you need to recompile the code (there is no code in the package) and still don't get people angry at your version getting out of date regularly because you broke the official update.
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 But the client will automatically get our updates and people will not get angry at you or us because it is out of date compared to the official server.
