Hey folks,
I've noticed a lot of MoP repacks released recently are leaked & hacked together, and close-sourced. I enjoy open-source projects and being able to contribute and people provide feedback, along with easy access to the content via repacks. Either I've missed it, or it's not out there, I decided to put together a repack for ProjectSkyFire for anyone wanting to play MoP without the hassle of compiling a source. It definitely doesn't have the most spell fixes or most pandaria content working (or content in general) but it is open-source and remains up-to-date on recent libraries which in and of itself is not easy. To add, since ProjectSkyFire doesn't have many contributors and not worked on as frequent, I hope for this to bring attraction to the source and provide people interested an outlet to contribute. Maybe one day there will a MoP open-source project that is decent, who knows.

Currently working on my own fork by fixing spells and such. I'm no expert on this stuff, so any positive feedback is welcome.
Some content that currently works
This is what I noticed so far, so If you have more that I missed leave a comment below. If you would like to make that list go up, make some contributions, they're always welcome.
Server: Databases: mmaps/vmaps/maps/dbc/db2: Custom server option: Custom option currently contains:
Hopefully more custom options such as autobalance, solocraft, etc, will be added
MySQL8.0 was used to compile, so not sure if different versions will work.
MySQL installer: MySQL server: Database info
- user: root
- password: root
I will try and update the repack for those interested.
Client info
You must use an actual 5.4.8 client, and patch it with SkyFire's patcher. Best place to download a client is from Tauri WoW or some other server that uses a 5.4.8 client (not 5.4.7). I tried Tauri's client from the launcher but seemed to have some issues. They have a torrent alternative.

P.S.: This source code most likely isn't nearly as decent as the MoP repack that is soon coming out on Emucoach, but wanted to throw this out there for anyone interested.
