| Summary | 0004049: Using a version named folder at the tarball | ||||
| Description | I recommend the use of a folder named by the current version at the tarball, as it is "Unreal3.2" I and a lot other people were close overwriting their current setup by accident. | ||||

Yes, it is a good idea. I have also overwritten my setup when extracting that tarball. God bless backups. |

+1 here to i all most did the same thing had one of them last moemnet rebound way from the enter key at the last moment sort of moments followed by a phew lol |

|
+1 Now that I have the right account. This is just smart, I've trashed an ircd more then once because I was running it from the same directory as it was built in. This forced me to install to a different target to prevent this from happening. |

++ The folder name should be identical to the tarball's basename, as is standard practice. But, of course, this shouldn't be changed for the current release because that'd invalidate checksums and it is more of a minor issue. |

Most *nux users mv Unreal3.2 - urown. |

That's not the point static-x. having a tarball named UnrealVerision and an untar'd product as UnrealVersion and then having the default --prefix as UnrealVersion makes things very difficult. Now if tarballs and the untar'd product followed the basic convention of ProjectName-Version and --prefix was an entirely different target (say ircd or something similar) then this problem wouldn't be an issue. |
