Bugzilla Bug 1963

Pysol ebuild

The ebuild supplied uses the pre-compiled form of pysol, which is somewhat
against the philosophy behind Gentoo.

I'll be looking into this one further.

The source code is 100% pure python so building from source will gain nothing
besides the fact that the source code is missing many of the data files which
are available from the pre-compiled package.  This means downloading both and
then recompiling the python code without gaining any performance.

Well, the pre-compiled version includes several *huge* pre-compiled source
files
for various python versions.  I finished several big bugs this weekend, so one
of my next projects is pysol!  I like to play it, myself, so don't worry - it
will get done. ;-)

Avi:

You state that "the source code is missing many of the data files which
are available from the pre-compiled package".  That are these files?

I'm coming full-circle again, here, and have found a little bit of time to try
and close these bugs out.

The source file includes only the Python source code while the pre-compiled
package has cardsets, tiles, sound, images, toolbars and documentation(rules,
etc. in HTML format) which don't seem to be available from any othe package.

I'm will do a CVS commit of 2 ebuilds tonight (pysol and pysol-sound-server),
with pysol-cardsets and pysol-music (or something like that) to follow
thereafter.  note that I'm using the upstrea 'precompiled' stuff.

Closing this bug.
I just did the CVS commit for this software.
Thanks for your contributions!
