Helpers for Lutris installer

[mioux]

I wrote an installer for the game in lutris

2 things could make it easier :

• Make a tar.gz file instead of a zip, with fly_dangerous.x86_64 set to executable (to remove the chmodx directive)
• Having a static link that redirects to the latest build release (to avoid updating the installer script for each new release)

FYI, here is the installer script

files:
- gh_zip: https://github.com/jukibom/FlyDangerous/releases/download/v0.5.4/FlyDangerous-0.5.4-linux.zip
game:
  exe: flydangerous.x86_64
installer:
- extract:
    dst: $GAMEDIR
    src: gh_zip
- chmodx: $GAMEDIR/flydangerous.x86_64

I have never used lutris before (I mainly use linux for work) so this is all news to me!

As for the other things, handling the executable bit would be a bit of a pain on windows but I can take a look. The static link though may be easier if linking to

https://github.com/jukibom/FlyDangerous/releases/latest/download/FlyDangerous-linux.tar.gz

and I can remove the version text from github zip files in future? If you wanna do that I'll leave this ticket open and ping you on the next major release 👍

The executable bit is not the worst thing, as there is a command for Lutris to do that 😄

But if you remove the version text in the file (at least for the Linux version), then I can use the link you provided (I didn't knew you can put "latest" as release 👍 )

After next release, I'll update the installer script, so it will always download the latest version

Amazing, I'll ping you here when the next one is up :D

@mioux I didn't forget about this! The new version goes up today (in about 6 hours, roughly) BUT it's too large for the max github filesize so there's two files

fly-dangerous-linux.tar.gz.001 fly-dangerous-linux.tar.gz.002

I hope that'll still work...

I have changed the installer. It will work until there is a third file to download :smile:

It's not visible for now as it has to be submitted for aproval before public release

Thank you
