Bugzilla Bug 36706

ShrapnelGames.com has released an awesome game called; Dominions II. Forunatly
this game (and demo) is available for Linux, but unfortunately this game (and
demo) isn't available in the portage tree. I would like to make a humble
request to the game-gurus to add this to the tree. Downloadlocation for the
demo; http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/d2/6.htm

Thanks a lot in advance.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

I'll look into getting the demo added, but there's no way I can add the full
game without buying it.  I'll look into purchasing a copy.

Great, I would like to enjoy this game..:-)

Is there a chance one of you guys can grab this one (at least the demo) since
I've been rather swamped and am having a difficult time keeping up with my bug
requests, let alone requests for new features.

games-strategy/dominions2-demo-bin added to CVS.  Since we don't have a copy
of the retail version an ebuild for that's not possible at this time.  If anyone
has a copy and would like to attach a working ebuild as text/plain that would be grand.

hi,

my copy of the game arrived yesterday, so here's the ebuild I wrote.

I added an icon to 'files/' which is about 1 kb in size in order to avoid a
buildtime dependency on imagemagick (convert). The icon included on the CD comes
in .ico-format only. I edited the icon to add background transparency.

The ebuild is keyworded for x86 and ppc, but I did only test it on x86, because
I don't own a ppc-machine.

The USE-flag 'doc' installs some additional documentation which I consider
useful: a detailed beginners walkthrough and the updated manual in pdf-format.

someone reopen this...

- don't KEYWORD for a platform that you can't test
- don't use cp where doins (or doins -r) works fine
- pkg_setup isn't needed
- newicon can be doicon, you aren't renaming it
- does the game *require* esound?

Also, since none of us have a copy of this game, we can't include it yet.  We
have to be able to support anything that we add.

Anyway, I just ordered it from Tuxgames, so I should have it in ~2 weeks.

First, thanks for the suggestions.

Does anyone have the possibility to test the game on ppc or shall I remove the
keyword?

Ok, I'll remove pkg_setup() - I thought it would be needed for check_license()
once the exact name and terms of the proprietary license are determined.

esound is marked as a dependency in the demo's ebuild, which I used as a
template. I haven't tried if it is really necessary.

I have a PPC machine, but if it requires OpenGL, I won't be able to test it,
since there's no opengl-capable drivers for Nvidia on the PPC.  It looks like
we'll just need to remove the KEYWORDS.  I'd leave the SRC_URI for it, though. 
It'll make it easier for the PPC team to KEYWORD it later.

Here's the updated ebuild.

I modified the ebuild slightly and committed it to CVS.  Thanks for the ebuild!

In the future, when dealing with something that supports more than one
architecture, don't use the $ARCH variable.  Instead, use the USE flag.

if use x86; then

It makes it cleaner, and allows for amd64 support on x86 binaries.  ;]
