Finally after years and years of screwing around with building StormLib or BNCSUtil everytime you moved your ghost bots to another server is finally over. As of today, I am hosting both libraries in apt and rpm repositories. In the process I also discovered that StormLib managed to get into Debian Testing (https://packages.debian.org/source/stretch/stormlib) so let's hope it'll be included in the next stable release!

I also  pushed CPack generator code into both repositories, so you can build these packages yourself. BNCSUtil was forked and cleaned especially.

DEB based distros

1. To /etc/apt/sources.list add:
   
   #apt.xpam.pl deb https://apt.xpam.pl/ jessie main

   1 2	#apt.xpam.pl deb https://apt.xpam.pl/ jessie main

2. Add GPG key:
   
   wget -qO - https://apt.xpam.pl/xpam.pl-pubkey.asc | sudo apt-key add -

   1	wget -qO - https://apt.xpam.pl/xpam.pl-pubkey.asc | sudo apt-key add -

3. Update and install:
   
   sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install stormlib bncsutil

   1 2	sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install stormlib bncsutil

RPM based distros

1. In /etc/yum.repos.d/rpm.xpam.pl.repo add
   
   [rpm.xpam.pl] name = rpm.xpam.pl baseurl = https://rpm.xpam.pl

   1 2 3 4

   [rpm.xpam.pl] name = rpm.xpam.pl baseurl = https://rpm.xpam.pl

   
   or, with dnf on Fedora:
   
   dnf config-manager --add-repo https://rpm.xpam.pl

   1	dnf config-manager --add-repo https://rpm.xpam.pl

2. If using dnf, make sure to import the public key:
   
   rpm --import https://rpm.xpam.pl/rpm-pubkey.asc

   1	rpm --import https://rpm.xpam.pl/rpm-pubkey.asc

3. Update and install:
   
   yum update && yum install stormlib bncsutil

   1	yum update && yum install stormlib bncsutil

   
   or dnf equivalent.

 

This was a nice project to spend a few weekends on but there are more plans in 2016 to clean and tidy up the bnet tools we all use and love:
-add CMake and CPack support to our own bots, link against upstream StormLib and release a cleaned up ghost code, ease the setup process via repo installs with full dependency resolution (mysql, boost, storm and bncsutil). Provide precompiled binaries for Windows.
-provide patches to some other popular ghost forks to work with upstream StormLib.
-package PvPGN?
-provide pkgng packages for FreeBSD. This will probably involve writing pkgng generator for CMake's CPack which could be an interesting side project in itself.
