Bug 255139 – Bump games-strategy/freecol to 0.8.1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Hallas 2009-01-16 08:00:48 UTC]

FreeCol 0.8.0 has been released.

Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Alexander Stein 2009-02-01 10:08:37 UTC]

Renaming the freecol-0.7.4.ebuild to freecol-0.8.0.ebuild works with a modified freecol-0.7.4-home.patch

[Comment 2 Alexander Stein 2009-02-01 10:10:11 UTC]

Created attachment 180516 [details, diff]
Modified version of freecol-0.7.4-home.patch

Removed he 2nd change form the patch file, as this is fixed by upstream.

I have also tested the patche and rename the ebuild.
Works great with the current 0.8.1 version of freecol on x86

[Comment 4 Michael Schulz 2009-03-31 21:25:07 UTC]

What about the version bump? Are the changed ebuilds anywhere?

You don't need to change anything, all you need is to remove the second half of the patch

cd /usr/local/portage/ (or wherever you put your stuff check PORTDIR_OVERLAY )
mkdir games-strategy
mkdir games-strategy/freecol
cd games-strategy/freecol
mkdir files
wget http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=180516&action=view files/
cp /usr/portage/games-strategy/freecol/freecol-0.7.4.ebuild freecol-0.8.1.ebuild
ebuild freecol-0.8.1.ebuild digest

The only thing odd is this message in the console when starting freecol

net.sf.freecol.common.FreeColException: Log file "/home/phoenix/.freecol/FreeCol.log" could not be created.
	at net.sf.freecol.common.logging.DefaultHandler.<init>(DefaultHandler.java:70)
	at net.sf.freecol.FreeCol.initLogging(FreeCol.java:380)
	at net.sf.freecol.FreeCol.main(FreeCol.java:173)

This file exists and is readwritable by the user starting freecol. I then tried removing it and it still won't work.
