I tried to fix bug #252950, which is related to pysol-sound-server and pysol, but that was going to be extremely ugly and unnecessary. The PySol project has not been maintained for many years, as well as it's sound server. However, the project was continued by another group under another name: PySolFC. This new program does not suffer from bug #252950. The code is much more presentable (the original project suffered of terrible programming practices). So with this new package I expect games-board/pysol and gamesboard/pysol-sound-server to be disposable and therefore bug #252950 to be closed. An ebuild will follow sortly. p.s.: This is the first ebuild I made, so let me know if I'm on the wrong track here.
Created attachment 176917 [details] Suggested ebuild for games-board/PySolFC-1.1
this should proably go to sunrise http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/wiki/HowToCommit maybe reassigned to maintainer-wanted@gentoo.org ?
No, there shouldn't be any games in sunrise per the initial agreement when sunrise was created. They don't honor the agreement already but there's no reason to suggest it's correct. This is the preferred location and settings for a new package in the games categories.
Let's get this into portage. I can't see it taking much maintenance. It worked out of the box on my amd64 box, even though is hasn't been updated in almost 2 years.
Created attachment 207236 [details] pysolfc-1.1.ebuild EAPI=2 and changed the name to reflect the ebuild naming standards but I broke it somehow. If you can see what I did to break it please attach a fixed ebuild.
I tryed your ebuild. It compiled fine, but had issues running. Supposedly, there was something wrong with tkinter.py, and Revision: 70220 is suppost to fix this. However, I believe the real problems lies with the tk/tcl version. Theres been alot of threads running around this issue. I have confirmed that on PysolFc works fine with tk/tcl-8.4.18-r1, but not with tk/tcl-8.5.7 I tested the above versions with python 2.6.2-r1
It looks like developer is still active in pysolfc. I built the trunk release for python 2.x and for python 3.x. Both of them worked. I emailed developer to see if they can patch current release to work with newer tcl/tk.
Created attachment 207920 [details] pysol-svn for python 2.x Maybe best to leave 1.1 obsolete and use current svn? It installed and ran fine from svn. I have no clue how to add the extra cardsets in with a svn build. :(
Created attachment 207932 [details] pysolfc 1.1 ebuild working with tcl/tk 8.5.7? Hi all, I've had a pysolfc ebuild in my own overlay for quite a while and have no problems on a system with tcl/tk 8.5.7 installed. I've attached the ebuild. It works, but probably needs work itself to be included in Gentoo :) I certainly don't see on a direct comparison what I've done that would magically make it work with tcl/tk 8.5.7. In fact, I think I may have just had it installed before tcl/tk got updated to 8.5.7 and it is still working. I currently don't have spare time to compare both ebuilds in more detail. Will try to get around to it in a week or so if somebody else doesn't get to it. Cheers, Josh

Created attachment 222539 [details] pysolfc-2.0.ebuild Version 2.0... Seems to work and install everything properly.
In portage. If you think something should be changed from what was committed, open a bug. Thanks.
