Multiuser system #4

Closed ismaelgv closed 8 years ago

ismaelgv commented 8 years ago

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this method won't work in multi-user system since it the game is installed in a user wine directory inside its home.

Maybe using a standard directory like /opt this could be fixed.

I've also noticed that $PREFIX is a variable in install.sh but the paths are hardcoded in some checks in leagueoflegends script. This one for example.

Oh, /* I hate prefix support, i use it for packaging */

For multiuser as i think, it's can be easy fixed by something like:

# mkdir /opt/leagueoflegends
# chmod 0775 /opt/leagueoflegends
# chown nobody:users /opt/leagueoflegends
# echo 'LOL_INSTALL_PATH="/opt/leagueoflegends" ' >> /etc/leagueoflegends.conf

I don't test it, but i create LOL_INSTALL_PATH for this case and in theory it must do the trick.

i.e. it will create a wine prefix per user, but in same time create a shared client directory.

Thanks.

Another problem would be several users trying to run League of Legends at the same time, but it is a improbable case and Wine does not support that.

@ChuckDaniels87, by default each user have own copy of LoL and Wine Prefix So it's must cover any multiuser cases. (It's behaviour like Linux Steam) But it's produce wasted space, so fix for wasted space below.

Wasted storage can be freed with two ways:

Do we try solve some real case or just think how to work with it?

I misunderstood the wrapper workflow. I think it is fine for multi-user but as you noted it will create duplicated data. I don't think that 6GB of duplicated data would be a problem in a modern system. I really doubt that more than 2 or 3 users would install LoL in a real use case.

Using XFS/Btrfs may be excessive and probably a restrictive solution. It is fine as it is right now.

Nice job btw!
