Full Text Bug Listing

Biloba is an abstract game that will (hopefully) soon be commercialized as a
real board game. It looks like checkers but has different rules and allows
between 2 and 4 players.
The software includes network gaming and a computer player.

Unfortunately, all of the interface, including rules description, is currently
in french. I have asked upstream for an english translation but am not sure if
and when it will be done.

ebuild for games-board/biloba-0.2

Created an attachment (id=69294) [details]
games-board/biloba/biloba-0.2.ebuild

Same ebuild with various fixes:
 - fixed shared files install path (use egamesconf instead of econf)
 - fixed deps (RDEPEND was forced to empty, sdl-image was missing)
 - fixed indentation and whitelines
http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/spacing.txt
 - shorter description
http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/toolong.txt
 - removed TODO from dodoc since it's empty

Other than that, the game runs fine for me too (x86 too), although i think it
may be a bit early to put it in portage (in particular because it's in french
only).

biloba-0.3.ebuild

Bumped my previous ebuild to 0.3. Also added a .desktop file. This version also
support english, so i think it could be candidate for inclusion. 

It puts the data files in the wrong place.  It should put them in GAMES_DATADIR
but instead it puts them in /usr/games/share/...

Err, right... i definitly hate this share/games vs. games/share thing :)

Two possible fixed ebuilds follow, don't know which one you'll prefer:
 - first one does some quick sed on some Makefile.in
 - second one uses applies a patch to some Makefile.am so that they honor
--datadir, and run automake

I will also submit the patch of the later fix upstream.

biloba-0.3.ebuild (with automake fix)

Created an attachment (id=69309) [details]
files/biloba-0.3-pkgdatadir.patch

To use with the "with automake fix" ebuild.

DEPEND/RDEPEND inversion. Not my day...

Created an attachment (id=69311) [details]
biloba-0.3.ebuild (with sed fix)

Same typo.

Hi there,

patch applied, and 0.3 ships with an english translation.

hth :)

One more thing... whatever ebuild version is choosen, this should be added at
the end of src_unpack:

	sed -i '/^#define DEBUG_IMG_LOAD/d' src/utils.c

(otherwise, biloba tries to create a "debug.txt" file, and crash if in a
non-writable directory)


@Colin: thanks for the pretty fast patch inclusion ;-)

*bump*

Bilboa 0.4 available.

Wanna attach an ebuild for 0.4?

Have you sent these patches upstream?

So... does network mode just not work at all or what?

Oops, i had never tried network game...

It seems to somehow work, although it took me a few tries.
 - player #1 creates the network game, and launches it (and gets a "waiting 1
player" screen),
 - player #2 clicks on the join button, then the game name, then the launch
button.
But even then, although it works, one of the two window (player #1 i think) is
not correctly refreshed (when the opponent moves, his stone disappear but it
not redrawn until player #1 has played too).

Well, it's in portage anyhow.  The single player and hot-seat play is fun.
