iTGB 1.2 ETA

#201 GNU tar is default with Macs now. That means "tar zcvpf archive.tgz ." is enough. No "-" required. The p flag is to preserve permissions. Good habit, maybe not necessary for this particular tree.

For ease of terminaling, I've installed Visor+SIMBL, with Visor bound to ctrl+esc. Use it, and be addicted :)

Good call on separating the docs. Perhaps you should even distribute source and editors separately? A DMG with TGB built to defaults+debug. Ask me about tools on IRC.

#202 I definitely want to preserver permissions, as a certain files need to be read/write or there will be a crash.

So if I'm in the base folder, contents being engine, tgb, games, tools, and documentation:

tar -cvfzp iTGB_1_2.tgz

Should work? I'm getting a strange error from that: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive....

#203 tar -cvfzp iTGB_1_2.tgz *


make sure you specify star at the end, that says what to put in it.

tar <options> <tar filename> <pattern of things to include>

#204 >_<

<=== Feels dumb

#205 cd to the directory, "tar zcvpf archive.tgz ." - note the period, which means "current directory and down". Star works, too, but it's not The Way of The Beard ;)

#206 War of the Tuxies: Episode 1 - War for the Tar ^^

#207 Thread Locked. iTGB 1.2 is released. Let the animal abuse and spamming cease. Please go to this thread for further information: iTGB 1.2 Release Details
