Furthermore, having *.ini files under /opt/nwn/ disallows multiple users having their own personal settings. Thus I suggest copying *.ini files instead of symlinking them. The following patch is a dirty hack that works. Files ending by ".ini" are not symlinked, they are created by nwn the first time it is run. --- /opt/nwn/nwn 2007-12-26 09:59:36.000000000 +0100 +++ nwn 2007-12-26 09:41:28.000000000 +0100 @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ mkdir -p "${p}" find "${p}" -type l -delete for i in * ; do - if [[ ! -f ".metadata/linguas_${i}" ]] + if [[ ! -f ".metadata/linguas_${i}" && ${i: -4} != ".ini" ]] then cp -rfs ${dir}/${i} ${p}/. || die "copy ${i}" fi @@ -50,11 +50,9 @@ done fi cd "${p}" || die "cd ${p}" -if [[ ! -a nwn.ini ]]; then - cp nwn.ini.default nwn.ini -fi if [[ -r ./nwmovies.so ]]; then export LD_PRELOAD=./nwmovies.so:$LD_PRELOAD fi wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2007-12-26 10:38:01 0000 OK... sounds like something we definitely need to fix up. Thanks for the report, we'll get to it as soon as time permits. calchan@gentoo.org 2007-12-26 17:24:01 0000 I'll have a look at this. Plus that will be a good opportunity to unmask the experimental ebuilds that has been p.masked for too long now. Denis. calchan@gentoo.org 2008-02-17 01:20:53 0000 Fixed. Thanks for the patch. Denis.
