actually, there is only 174 MiB of assets in the release 0.11

Maybe Airshipper could be packaged instead?

Airshipper package is merged into nixpkgs now.

@yusdacra thank you very much for providing Airshipper with PR #137315.

It worked yesterday but stopped working today with the error message when trying to update to the latest binaries

Please let me know, if this should be created as a separate issue.

[yusdacra]

It seems to be working fine for me currently. Maybe try deleting your profile? I know there is a bug that messes up the profile (if the symlinks are broken) but that's probably not related.

[mkroehnert]

@yusdacra thanks for the fast reply and the hint. For anyone also having this issue, I removed the veloren-server-cli and veloren-voxygen, started airshipper again and the download/install worked.

As mentioned earlier, veloren is both in nixpkgs and working well.

I'm not too keen on using a launcher that fetches random binaries from the internet. The flake provided by upstream is also broken (it has been for a while).

I would appreciate a proper package in Nixpkgs, maybe with the assets split out if that's a concern.

If you're still interested I have made a PR to add the full veloren package. Reviews are welcome.
