Codex
The Codex is the collection of Grimoires used in Source Mage.
You can view the latest Codex at http://codex.sourcemage.org
Official Grimoires
The current official Source Mage GNU/Linux Grimoires are:
- This is the most stable official grimoire in the codex, and will be the base grimoire used by our official releases.
- This is the main development grimoire, the Source Mage Team works in there. Any spell in the test grimoire has worked for at least the developer who submitted it, but is not guaranteed to be tested on different systems.
- This is the step between stable and test grimoire. When a new stable grimoire gets released, the current test becomes stable-rc. Then that grimoire is tested and enhanced continuously until the next stable release. Usually not as current as test, but more stable.
This is a grimoire which contains all of the games which have been submitted and added. If you find a game that is missing, please submit it to http://bugs.sourcemage.org/ under the Enter a new bug report -> New Spells module.
- This is a grimoire which contains pre-compiled binary versions of selected spells. Only spells which use an OSS license are allowed.
- This grimoire contains packages which do not use an OSS license (i.e. commercial license, only non-commercial use allowed, binaries only, redistribution limitations, etc.).
Managing Grimoires
All of these grimoires can be added or removed by using the scribe command, which defaults to prepending to the newly added grimoire in index.
For example, to add the test and games grimoires and remove the stable grimoire, you would do the following:
# scribe add games # scribe add test # scribe remove stable
That would then give you a codex index (view with scribe index) like this:
[0] : test : /var/lib/sorcery/codex/test [1] : games : /var/lib/sorcery/codex/games
The main Source Mage grimoires are also available via rsync by running a command like scribe add games from rsync://sourcemage.org::games. That will work with the stable, test, games and z-rejcted grimoires.
Grimoire tarballs are generated and published on http://codex.sourcemage.org every 6 hours, at 0, 6, 12 and 18 hours EST (EST Eastern Standard Time = UTC Coordinated Universal Time - 5h).
Unofficial Grimoires
