+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #180783 +++ eternal-lands-1.5.0 is released and the version presently in Portage can not connect to their servers any more. I figured this should get its own bug. I'm attaching ebuilds to make things work - sort of. They need a dependency on a new version of eselect-opengl that is not yet in portage (bug 201048). Also - they reference files that don't exist on the mirrors. One is downloadable from the eternal lands website (the sound files). The other requires a cvs checkout using the v1.5.0 tag.
Created an attachment (id=137668) [edit] eternal lands data ebuild Note that this adds a new local use flag for sound.
Created an attachment (id=137670) [edit] ebuild for eternal lands itself
Note - although Roy is gone I am planning on picking this up once I'm a dev (I'm in the final review process now). For the moment it lacks a maintainer. If somebody wants to check this in now feel free, or it will be a good first exercise for me in the next week or two.
*** Bug 180783 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Is it possible to connect the game with existing in portage elc-1.3.3? If not any HINT's how to get files for attached here ebuilds?
Sure, download these files and put them in /usr/portage/distfiles: el_sound_150.zip: Link can be found on http://www.eternal-lands.com/page/download.php Unfortunately it leads to one of those file-hosting sites that doesn't allow direct URLs, so it will need to be mirrored ultimately. For manual download that link is fine. elc_150.tar.bz2: You need to make this yourself from CVS until it is mirrored: cd /tmp mkdir el cd el cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.elc.berlios.de:/cvsroot/elc login <hit enter for password> cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.elc.berlios.de:/cvsroot/elc -r elc_1_5_0 co elc tar -cjf /usr/portage/disfiles/elc_150.tar.bz2 elc At this point you should be able to emerge those ebuilds. If not let me know - maybe I missed a step. Sorry about the complexity - unfortunately they don't have source tarballs on web/ftp sites. Ditto for the sound files.
Responding to the comment in 201048. If you got it to build then you're OK - you don't need any particular version of eselect-opengl to run the client. You might have had a newer version of glext.h floating around somewhere - various instances of it come from a few different packages. eselect-opengl is the only one that isn't married to a particular implementation (the last thing we want is to depend on nvidia-drivers or something like that). The ebuild is missing the eselect-opengl dependency - I'll fix that once that package is updated - right now I don't know what version the update will be. Glad to hear that this works for you - mine was built amd64 so it appears to work on both archs.
(In reply to comment #6) Oh, no. You actually need to checkout HEAD not elc_1_5_0 tag. There were several grave bugs that are fixed in HEAD. And actually elc is in feature freeze until all bugs in 1.5.0 version are fixed, so checking out HEAD is a safe and better option.
It is impossible to compile HEAD src code.
"impossible" is hard word :) Sure it is possible, I do that every day. I'll attach my ebuild for building elc from cvs HEAD. Please note that i removed dependency of eternal-lands-data (i installed data files manually).

That is not elc bug, but gentoo bug. eselect-opengl comes with outdated glext.h, so u need more recent one to compile elc. use: eselect opengl set --impl-headers xorg-x11 compile eternal-lands and then switch back to your opengl implementation to play game and tagged source does not work fine, just compiled fine
The cvs version might be fine for now, but long term upstream will need to tag an appropriate branch, or indicate what date they consider stable. I know the el owners don't generally want people logging into production using cvs head clients - you could get yourself banned for doing this if you don't know what you're doing. I haven't had any issues with the 1.5.0 release actually, but if they're having opengl bugs/etc that could depend greatly on implementation, video card, etc. Did you remove the -data dependency just because you don't personally need it, or is there some problem using the packaged client data files with the cvs head code? If the live-cvs version makes it into portage it will obviously need the data to go along with it. However, what we might do long-term is put the 1.5.0 ebuild into portage, and rev bump it as necessary to fix bugs - and leave the live cvs version out of portage but still available for people who know what they're doing. Maybe we could make an eternal-lands-cvs package.
I've just compiled and started the CVS code, and it is working with eternal-lands-data-1.5.0.ebuild. Anyway it is not good idea to force people to play with eselect-opengl to compile game (like gcc-3/4 and qemu).
I agree with u about cvs version but see that link: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=38903 so cvs HEAD will have bugfixes only until May, 2008 (or at least that are plans for now) Bugs in tagged version is not about opengl but with new sound effects and threads so u get crashes, yes they are rare but u still get them. about data package, i play el regularly and started testing new client in early betas so i had to install manualy all data files and then just continued to do that. Other thing is i dont like current way of installing data files as i dont use original bitmap map files. I'm thinking for something like that: eternal-lands-x.x.x.ebuild eternal-lands-data-base-x.x.x.ebuild (current data with bitmap map files striped out) eternal-lands-maps-original-x.x.ebuild (bitmaps from official release) eternal-lands-maps-rangers-x.x.y.y.ebuild (alternate bitmap files from rangers) eternal-lands-maps-bloodsucker-x.x.y.y.ebuild (HiRes alternate bitmap files) and while current version of elc can read gzipped files we can have option to compress with gzip at least these bitmaps

It would certainly be cleaner. If they really are going bugfixes up through May we might want this in portage. From a QA perspective though I'd like to see targetted builds given their own ebuilds - CVS isn't really something you want to support for general-purpose use. Mythtv uses an approach like this - targetted CVS releases are packaged and made into ebuilds. Feel free to contact me via email if you want to chat about any of this. We probably shouldn't put too much back-and-forth into this bug - a forum topic is another option. I do like your idea for the various mappacks/etc. I just overwrite the official versions and keep a backup set of maps using hardlinks.
A dependency for media-libs/sdl-image is missing in the ebuild. Please add it.
Created an attachment (id=139256) [edit] Eternal lands ebuild Updated with sdl-image dep, and added eselect-opengl dep - so it should now compile cleanly (once eradicator unmasks it). It will likely be in portage soon. Once 1.5.0 is in portage I'll figure out what to do about cvs updates...

added USE="sound music" Now works fine, sound might not be a use flag, it may be necessary. but: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "extentions.xml"

We definitely don't want any crashes regardless of USE flags. Oh, did you try launching it more than once? If the application detects an update it will kill itself without warning. If that was the problem then it will work fine the second time. The warning on extensions.xml is normal. I suspect the sound warnings are normal as well if you didn't install the sound files. The EL executable attempts to load the sound files all the time, and just gracefully fails if they aren't present - there isn't any kind of compile-time option to disable it - we just don't install them if the USE flag isn't set.
the extensions.xml file you can find here: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=39291

(In reply to comment #25) > But it looks like it tried to play something "play_stream" --> Floating point > exception. > > Is it works for anyone without "sound" and "music" flags ? > Hmm - works fine for me. But you wouldn't be the first to have problems with this release - the el devs are looking to come out with a maintenance release at some point. I have no idea why you're getting crashes without sound/music though. Are you sure you're using the same CFLAGs/etc for both tests? can you email me your emerge --info? FYI - 1.5.0 will be going into portage shortly - I just need to get eradicator to finish keywording eselect-opengl so that it can build...
Ok, a long time in the making but I just committed 1.5.0 to portage. I'm going to leave out the live CVS build for now, but I'll monitor and if upstream releases anything worth redistributing I'll put in a new release. It sounds like they don't really want people running CVS unless they know what they're doing, and we really don't want general users running CVS versions on gentoo. Feel free to put that live-cvs build in your portage mirror though if you want it...
There will be a server update in el shortly. After update current client will stop to work, so maybe the good idea is to have preRC version (currently in CVS) in portage in testing tree? EL Dev team every day ask PPL to test RC client, so they in fact want push users to compile cvs.
Hmm - I'll look into this. I was actually contemplating making EL into a live-cvs build anyway (just pegging it to fixed revisions that can be bumped - since they don't do consistent source releases half the time anyway). That would make these sorts of situations trivial to handle. Give me a few days to look into this - if they do the server bump before I'm done post a bug and assign it to me and I'll take care of ASAP.

Again - if you have a link to something I'll follow-up. I'm also cleaning up the CVS build - at the next release I may consider switching over to a live CVS build (which references a branch/date/revision - I don't want every gentoo user on a slightly different build).

EL server is updated. Client 1.5.0 is not working anymore: "This version is no longer supported, please updated!" There is new bug opened here: #215327
