 BTW this should be in /usr/share/ssystem/mars.jpg per FHS.

Newer versions of ssystem are called openuniverse.

RFC 1607 describes how to do it  I think it's not due for at least
four more years.

xplanet can use ssystem image file!

2001-09-10 Thread Bill Allombert
Hello, 

I know there are lot of xplanet-lover here, and I just discover
you can use ssystem file with xplanet!

xplanet --window  --body mars --image /usr/lib/ssystem/mars.jpg  --orthographic

(no there aren't any Debian developpers on Mars (yet ?).)
BTW this should be in /usr/share/ssystem/mars.jpg per FHS.

Also it would be nice to make this more transparent, that xplanet and
ssystem share these files via dependecies

Have fun!
