Liquid War 6 can be found on http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/liquidwar6/ and http://www.ufoot.org/download/liquidwar/v6/.
Downloading the latest file from this place, and compile
it yourself on your computer with a classical
./configure && make && make install
is the recommended
way to install Liquid War 6.
Some binary packages are available. As of today, only
GNU/Linux based systems are supported, through
Debian .deb
and
Red Hat RPM
packages.
Using these files might save you time installing the game, but installing from source is still the safest and best supported way to install the game, as it is still in beta stage. Binary are also not necessarly available for the latest, most up to date versions of the game.
The list of all the available downloads is accessible on http://www.ufoot.org/liquidwar/v6/download.
Check out the MD5 checksums and GnuPG signatures to verify the integrity and authenticity of the files you download.
Latest work in progress versions can be obtained with GNU Arch. Here's a typical set of commands which will fetch the latest version:
tla register-archive http://arch.sv.gnu.org/archives/liquidwar6 tla get -A liquidwar6@sv.gnu.org liquidwar6--beta
Alternatively, you can directly download GNU Arch patches, and an Archzoom server allows you to browse the source interactively.
